There are few, however I would like to mention that are indeed a "keepers" in the garden:
Bychiye Serdtze (Bull's Heart)
Russian origin - abundance of healthy, meaty, juicy and sweet fruit that lasted until the first frost! Just as great tasting as I remember back in Russia
Black from Tula
Great taste to my pallet that has just the right amount of acid and sweetness, some smoky/salty somewhere in there too, and good, steady producer in my garden all season:
Cherokee Purple
While the production was moderate, and wend down south as the weather heated up, it's sweet taste, with creamy flesh was one of the family favorites:
Brandywine Sudduth.
And last but not least by any means! Many report that these guys are not productive at all, and lucky to have 5 good fruits entire season. We had over 30 fruit gathered from 10+ foot high plant. Great flavor with no sweetness, but rich and complex - going back again next year:
As I go through my notes, I will post more of what I felt was worth growing again. As for now - planing expansion of the garden, and a difficult decision to make of what varieties in addition to the 4 mentioned above are going take their place in 2010 garden.
