I grew some Big Berthas last season for the first time. They didn't
seem very late here in central Texas. They were disappointingly thin
walled. Nice and big, though.

My favorite bells are Blushing Beauty and Tequila. Those two give me a
mix of at least four colors for my "Multi-color Bell" bags. Tequila is
a purple skin that does better here than other purples I've tried.

I also like Mexi-Bell (seed from Ivy Garth or Rupp), though they are
hard to sell.
