I grow the "Oregon" varieties as my staple crop.  I always add one or
two others as an experiment but none have ever come up to the standards
of "Oregon".  This year my additional variety is Principe Borghese. 
It's an Italian drying tomato.

My cool, wet spring and rather cool summer nights aren't really suited
to tomato production.

All the seed are from Territorial in Oregon.
