RE: Hello

Bill,

 I saw that claim for Caspian Pink, but I wondered how adapted it is to
other climates.  Please let us know how it compares if you decide to plant
both.

Hi ,
A couple of things in your post caught my eye. One
was the potatoes . I  tried Yukon Gold last year 
and they were the best tasting potato I've ever 
tried. The second thing was Brandywine , I've grown them
several times and they are very tasty.  In my
Organic Gardening magazine , Totally Tomatoes
has an ad for free seeds . They say that Caspian
Pink has beaten Brandywine in independent taste
tests for 3 straight years . They'll send me a 
pack of each. I guess I'll have to try that test 
myself. Good luck with your garden.
