BLACK TOMATOES

[micky 3,325]

Last season we grew over 100 strains plants and they  all got Blight and died , this year we grew three types totaling 48 plants of Blight resistant, strains . 5 of these plants produced Jet Black fruit and though an unusual color taste very nice

I grew  Black Russian  3 years ago and they were one of the best that i have ever eaten but a very poor cropper which i think that many outdoor Heritage Toms are. The ones i grew this year were three  different  strains of Red  Blight  resistant  types and the black ones were among them .

Got a few this year, and i must say they taste great.

Never grew the black variety, but did grow the chocolate variety one year.

Contrary to the name, they don't taste of chocolate, they just have chocolate brown skins.

I've had a great crop this year from plants I was given off a lad on the Allotments.

Various types, all doing well;

Cheers.

Good afternoon Charts. Nice looking crop. I’m doing a heck of a lot of both red and green tomato chutney. It’s flying out the door. Nice little touch as well is adding 3/4 chillis. Lovely. Jok.
