I know! I'm trying to figure out why. We got a greenhouse last year which allowed us to get an early start this year before putting them in the garden. The weather has been abnormally cool and we have gotten decent rains. I have been doing heirlooms for about 15 years and they are probably 25% larger and much more prolific this year.

I usually separate my seeds according to type and save them. This year when I was finished with cutting then up for the canner I had plenty of seeds and juice left on the cutting board. I decided to let them all ferment together and will try a random planting next year.
