I've grown Sungolds before, and they are very tasty. I love to put
them with Sweet 100s in a salad--the red and the yellow look beautiful.

I just got a note from a friend this morning encouraging me to take
a few Stupice when I water her garden while she's out of town. She
says they're smaller than normal this year. Maybe because of the
late rains and therefore the late start of warmer weather?

I just noticed a volunteer in one of my largest containers a couple of
weeks ago. Based on what I've had in my garden in the past, it's probably
either a Sweet 100 or a Sungold. I just hope it gets its fruit ripe before
the cooler weather starts.
