110 lbs of smaller fruit or 20 lbs of larger fruit?
Trying to decide what to grow more of this year. The bountiful-ness of Juliet makes me want to regrow but would it be better just to grow more bigger paste?

I always favour the more prolific varieties, id rather a larger longer harvest with smaller fruit than larger, shorter producing varieties.
What would your plans be with 110lb?
Juilet seems to be more heat and disease resistant for me. I grow it every year.
Nothing matters except the flavor
I bought juliet seeds this year so I am growing for the first time. I have only done heirlooms for the last several years and I am doing a few hybrids. I am not big into smaller so if they both are yummy and you only want one then go big. I picked a few hybrids to taste and I am sure the following year I will pick out the bigger ones of the ones I like for the majority of the ones I grow and only grow a few smaller ones.
What varieties are they?
It looks like one is a plum & one is a grape
Beautiful
Taste matters more than size, I think. Which one tastes better to you?
