Oregon BlueMy first softneck I ever grew, on recommendation from my sister for its amazing longevity in the kitchen. It has proven to be that and then some. We regularly crack good Oregon Blues in August of next year, still ready to eat while the next batch is getting clipped and cleaned! At first I noted its relative mildness in the fall but by the time youre cracking it in December and January, it has gotten hotter probably part of what makes it keep so well.
