didn't know Martha Stewart was touting the Black Krim. I first heard about it from a collector in France, krim noir. Some other blacks we grew had great taste, but were more prone to splitting than the krim. I will put Southern Nights on the radar if we can get seeds, or Paul Robeson. I'm excited to try to find your other suggestions as we love the blacks and one even better would be great.

Yes we like Cherokee Purple too and still grow that every year.

I don't remember the name, but we tried one this year with ananas in the title, it was kind of interesting.

On the zebra, I have also seen that greenhouse/hydroponic versions are being adapted.

We'll try to figure out which white, some are awfully bland and one was actually pretty good, now not that it would take down another variety/color in a cage match or anything, but very tasty for a white. This year and last year our labelling got screwed up, last year someone who helped us in the garden pulled out all the labels for some reason, and this year my husband's labels faded to oblivion, so we had issues knowing what was what in some varieties.

KYH any other knockouts for taste you would recommend? We have honed down what we grow to a smaller number, after years of nonsense of having way too many varieties. But each year we try a few new varieties, and I'd love to get your expert opinion on a few nice ones we might not know about. We like the big flavored ones, not into the so called "mild" or "low acid" ones which we think = bland.
