As for peppers, that Habanada was the largest producer, and is still covered with peppers. Unfortunately, I wasn't crazy about the flavor, though a couple people at work liked it. Big Beef was the best large tomato, with its good flavor, as always. A new (for me) cherry tomato - Sweet Treats - did great. 1-1 1/4", with great flavor, and incredible production, producing in large clusters, which would ripen together. Not really a sweet cherry, like sungold or sunsugar, but that made it more useful in all of those salads I make throughout the summer.

Stavros pepperoncini and an Italian-type Pepperoncini were my big producers of peppers. I'd be hard pressed to choose between them, as each plant produced 3-4 gallon ziploc bags of fruit before I gave up and quit picking them. (Both were just a little too hot for a pepper wimp like me. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/3247375/images/uJ3wHzVudwy0q4vAqilQ.png) ) Jing Orange okra did really well also, despite a late start (sowed in July). If I had started them in April or May like usual I would have been drowning in okra.

Good gosh golly PEPPERS. All my peppers. The best ones were the better belles, orange habs and the poblanos. Amazingly tasty and I put up all I wanted and gave the rest away in many many many 5 gallon buckets. To the point I was told what I could do with peppers lol. Only had 8 better belle plants, 3 orange habs and 3 poblanos!!

This year the blackberries were prolific, the beets did very well, asparagus in its third year was a nice surprise and peppers did as well as ever. My tomato yearly wrap-up will be forthcoming.

For tomatoes it has to be anything which is still absolutely a month after we should have had frost. They would be Giraffe Apricot and Sun and Snow. Both are long storing type and must be 10-12 pounds per plant. Top cabbage is Filderkraut with easily 15 pounds. Best sweet pepper is Carmen. Best carrot was Supersnax 54. Best potato was tie between Kennebec and Mega Chip. Lots of other over-achievers but most were expected. No Brussels sprout favorites this year for some reason. All beets were good with Bull's Blood being the best.
