That's for sure. I've tried my last 'Tomato Soup'. Expensive and I didn't like the supposedly red color of any of the three I tried.

The 'Sunrise' and 'Meringue' above made it the two or three years and are now nowhere to be seen. The purple cones have done okay and the good ol' TN cone reseeds well for me. I have seeds of 'Amado' and 'Ruby Star' that I may direct sow this fall. But, so far, the native TN cone wins. It used to be on the Endangered list but was removed year before last, I think it was. I'm hoping my new 'Cheyenne Spirit' does well.
