Green Comet is a wonderful producer for me here in Connecticut. It has, at times, been difficult to find seed for when Territorial Seed Company discontinued it for a couple of years. This year it is back and better than ever. Big heads, tasty, and wonderful side shoot production until frost as long as you continue picking and keep it from flowering

While I have grown this cultivar as botha a spring and fall crop, it actually does better here as a fall crop. It is a very good cultivar, very similar to Southern Comet, in fact an older version.
