Thanks for this info. I did have Douglass on my list due to Clark’s recommendations and Bob Purvis’ description.

@BobVance I’m like this with my tomatoes where I number everything. For me, the first seeds I planted were numbered T1- T72. Then the next generation would get a second number and a label for whatever flavor it had.

Here’s an example of a tomato that tastes like cantaloupe

I’d like to see how well it does in cold places like Northern Vermont, like North Dakota, and like Montreal. If it proves to do great in ground in places like those, I think that it could get very popular in Vermont.

No, it does not get full sun. That combined with me having a short, not very warm growing season, could restrict its size some.

Gave me lots of berries this year though:

We always cover them. The only grapes we grow without cover are the Alpha variety from Minnesota (discovered in 1901) and wild Amur grapes. Alpha grows without cover on the coast. There’s only one commercial vineyard in the region—near Lake Khanka. It requires cover.
