jrslick (North Central Kansas, Zone 5B)Updated Also FYI, The ones in these pictures are really ripe. You may want to pick when they are a little less red and more orange. If you wait till they are this red, they won't have much shelf life left. Jay

jtmacc99(z5/6 NY)Updated Sungold is, and has been for years, the only hybrid I grow. And I have no problem with that. It's fantastic, and it's unique. And to be honest, fantastic and unique are why I grow all of the wonderful heirloom varieties I grow.
