Tomatoes, Etc

[greenstorm]

So...

...first Cherokee chocolate harvested. It was fantastic. It had a sort of... musky gamey flavour, not just tomato-red-meaty tasting like green zebra, but something low and... oh, I dunno. It was fabulous. It's on the list for next year, with green zebra and sungold.

First brandywine harvested. It was given to CrazyChris. Enjoy it, boyo. Brandywines are the best BLT tomatoes ever; I'll harvest another today and eat it that way.

I actually ate a speckled roman; I really like them as well, they're lovely light sweet tomatoes with a paste texture, that is, firm with little gel. They're not very productive, though.

The black krim are huge, huge, huge tomatoes, but none quite ripe yet. They're, like, 2lb-ers.

I love our tomatoes this year. They have been bountiful, HUGE, and very tasty with a firm texture. Very pleasing indeed and toasted tomato sandwiches are the bomb.

What variety are they, or do you know?

Oh yes, Early Girl. Although I think it should be renamed "biggest juicest tomatoes I've ever seen Girl".
