Ok, so the first year I started the business it was based 90% on Tomatoes and I would say 80% of my income that year was based on chery tomatoes, last year I grew a small assortment of cherries and they sold well, but I didn't cage them like I should have, which is a big no, no. This year I didn't grow any. Next year I would like to grow 15-20 different shapes, sizes, and colors for a "psychedelic" mix.
Does any one here have any suggestions or must haves for this mix?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have some Brown Berry seeds but i know that part of them are crossed. You can have them if you want. Most of the plants i raised this year were true with only one plant crossed. . Let me know if you want the seeds.

I really liked Blondkopfchen. Nice yellow color and great taste. Some other good ones I think would sell are small red /yellow pear, sungold, grape/egg shape. I have been giving away bags full of small maters- all different colors and sizes. People LOVE it. Though most keep asking me for red beefsteaks.

Yeah sure... Give us a 1.875 lb Beefsteak type after we drove 3 hours in the rain, when you had BAGS full of cherry/grape/currant types...    ;D You KNOW who's standing over my shoulder reading this and laughing his ass off  |

uhh-oh, someones in trouble  Blondkopfchen is a good choice too I think, I grew it last year and was impressed with yield (went till frost, loaded down, huge sprawling plant) and it sold well so I may add that to the list of "must have", I just sent out an order to TGS yesterday, I see another going to SSE tommarrow. -Alan |

Your welcome down and thank you for the trade, can't wait to grow it. Any one else have any suggestions for next year? I've been browsing the catalouges and I plan on buying several more still, it looks like I have yet one more obsession to fill!

Hey Bill, you wouldn't happen to have a few sunsugar or Santa sweets you would want to part with would you? I would even take Sunsugar F2 or F3 so as to find an OP variation eventually. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
