Pappy Kerns woes - Page 2

Just for the record, the one Pappy Kern plant I grew last year did really well. It was a big plant that set early and produced many fruit for a long time. The flavor was very good, but it didn't stand out as being exceptional, at least to me. Based on a very limited sample size, 3 seeds for each variety, germination was lower than I normally get, with only one seed germinating (normally all 3 germinate). Overall, I thought it was a high quality variety, but the flavor didn't blow me away, so I wasn't planning on growing it this year. I won't share seeds, per Jen's request, but I'd be happy to send some back to her.
