I only get 3-4 per plant but they are large and memorable and as a sweet tomato should taste.tom | tall clover farmhttp://www.tallcloverfarm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-2883481527325356912009-08-13T16:03:49.279+02:002009-08-13T16:03:49.279+02:00Yummy ..

Red, white, yellow, green, striped, pink, purple, black! Too many to choose from, not enough room! In the end it is always taste which matters most. I also grew the french marmande variety, but their flavor does not compare against the black krims.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-50126446794815744112009-08-06T22:41:01.868+02:002009-08-06T22:41:01.868+02:00I'm not usually keen on 'black' variei...I'm not usually keen on 'black' varieities - it's just that tomatoes should be red, it seems to me, except when they're yellow! But these look good. Pity they don't taste as advertised, but that is probably due to the rain.chaiselonguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372135992072231446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-32019108387405710982009-08-05T12:32:45.783+02:002009-08-05T12:32:45.783+02:00Fern - they are among that "purple" toma...<b>Fern</b> - they are among that "purple" tomato group which is neither black or purple but rather deep in color (skin and flesh) when ripened. My guess is that black is a direct translation from the plants' original source. I tried translating black into russian but I get something that looks greek to me.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-65142018784981122762009-08-05T11:01:14.691+02:002009-08-05T11:01:14.691+02:00Why are they called black?Why are they called black?Fern Driscollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417002529475962869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-6977892438598365822009-08-05T08:07:37.121+02:002009-08-05T08:07:37.121+02:00Maybelline - my sentiments exactly.<b>Maybelline</b> - my sentiments exactly.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-70245999105572839172009-08-04T21:19:04.767+02:002009-08-04T21:19:04.767+02:00Oh well.
