The first to yield again was the Cherokee Purple. The fruits are large and heavy- very sweet too. Made a great BLT. A couple of things in growing is to avoid using fertilizer with high nitrogen content, and spray the plants every 2-3 weeks with a mix of epson salts(2 Tbsp/gallon of water) to increase bloom production. I also did a little trick the indians used- bury a small fish along side the plants, works very well! Happy gardening!!!!!
