Across 6 seasons and 18 trials, you've shown a clear preference for high-flavor varieties while maintaining strong yields for your market operation. Your tomato program is the strongest — Cherokee Purple for flavor and Defiant PhR for reliability form an ideal pairing. Carmen pepper and Salanova Green lettuce are your anchor varieties. Rankings have steadily improved from 15th percentile (2020) to top-5 finishes in recent trials. Main risk: drought sensitivity — 2021 and 2024 showed measurable yield drops.
