\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Summer of Love is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season<\/strong> beefsteak bred by Brad Gates<\/strong> (Wild Boar Farms) as an upgraded offshoot of his famous Berkeley Tie-Dye. It yields large, oblate slicers swirled in mahogany-brown and green stripes with sweet, juicy, dense flesh. Gardeners report vigorous vines, noticeably earlier ripening than original Berkeley Tie-Dye<\/a>, and reliable above-average yields. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

A newer variety from Brad Gates, an improved version of Berkeley Tie-Dye. Indeterminate, mid-season (ripens a bit earlier than Berkeley Tie-Dye). The fruit is large and oblate, dark brownish with metallic green stripes. Super tasty, juicy-meaty, and distinctly sweet.

Total stunner and downright delicious! Productivity was better than average, vines grew stout and vigorous. Definite lock for my 2020 grow list.
