And notes for next years gardening

1.  Need to be more aggressive about weed control .  The tarp strips worked really well but need to use more.

2.  Keep fruit and branches off the ground.  I lost a lot of fruit that way.   Prune low branches aggressively.   Tie up things better.

Summary thought on 2014 varieties

Airy leaf:  ok but not as impressive as super sauce.

Better bush:  I got a few, nice round red tennis ball size, but not super prolific in the end.

Black Cherry: As last year, this is a very prolific cherry.   With about 4 plants I had a lot of these and I canned 2 quarts. Still a great plant.  Good taste.

Black from Tula:  similar to Cherokee Purple in color and size, but BFT are often a little bigger and weirder shaped.  Still nice, great flavor .

Costoluto Genovese:   I think it's worth planting again,  as it was not bad for yield and it's a great deep red fluted fruit, and sauces surprisingly well.  It is prone to end rot and otherwise softens/rots very quickly on the vine.  

Cherokee Purple:  lived up to high expectations:  good yield, great fruit & flavor.  Rounder than BFT.  Plant again!

Flamme:  still did well , nice yield.  

Green Zebra:   Nice yield but I didn't get to many of them in time due to vacation, and the plant location (the ones in the back got less live).  Still a good one.

Hawaiian currant :  still a great currant.   Super prolific.   Only need 1 or 2 plants.

Indigo Rose:  hardly harvested any, though they made lots;  too overgrown in the back there,  but it accomplished my goal for cross-pollination attempts.

Kellogs Breakfast:  did pretty well and I like these big yellow fruit.

Mortgage lifter :   As widely regarded, this was prolific, grew well and had great fruit.  Tasty.  Plant again for sure.

Orange Slicer:  did well, was prolific, good tomato.    Just barely darker orangey than KB.   

Pink ping pong:   I don't recall seeing these at all (1 plant , planted late) but the location in the back row was pretty overgrown with weeds.

Red pear:  my kid seemed to like these last year so I planted this again.   But despite fantastic yield,  the fruit was very susceptible to disease, bugs and spoiling, so I didn't pick many.   Won't plant it next year.

Super sauce:   I liked these a lot.  Got some fruit up to ~1 pound.   Need to support these better to keep the gravy trusses off the ground!!
