Newyorkrita said:Well, I broke down and bought two heirloom plants today. One called Hillbilly that I have never had before but sure did look great. And then I bought Brandywine again. Don't know what came over me. Have tried Brandywine so many times before and it never comes to anything.

Hillbilly can be fickle too but for the ultimate BLT few are as fine. Very fruity flavor. Most prolific of the heirlooms I've grown is Black Krim. Very tasty too.

The way things are going here I don't foresee planting until the holiday. I've got an awful Johnson grass infestation and eventually will need to build raised beds. I'll get a good harvest anyway, it's just horrible to watch the veggies being consumed by the grass. Oh, I fight it but it's an impossible battle in my rural locale.
