And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Once you go black ...
Black Krim Tomato - I found one at the farmers market last weekend and it's now in the garden. I'll report on whether it produces like this picture suggests it might.
In the Carolina's, we have the Cherokee Black... Full of flavor and texture. Wonderful species. Yours is probably very similar. I would incorporate it into my garden planes if it works for your ao.
I grew Black Russian's a few years ago. I would slice and dehydrate them as a snack. It was like eating sugar coated potato chips, and they were awesome. Grind them into powder, it made an amazing paste for salsas and dips. I got nothing out of the seeds the following year though, even though they weren't supposed to be hybrids.
I am on my second year of growing Cherokee Purple. They are great. I grow about 5 other varieties too.
ReplyDeleteI grew some Black Krim this year, DAMN GOOD tomato!!!!
ReplyDeleteBlack Krim is very good. My favorite by far, though, is Chocolate Stripe. Great size and heavenly taste!
ReplyDeleteI have been growing heirloom tomatoes from varieties from around the world. There is now comparison to modern commercial strains.

ReplyDeleteLooks like the backside of Oprah stepping into the shower.
ReplyDeletebased on when I grew them, thats reasonably accurate. I prefer Black Plum tomatoes. Regardless, the black/purple strains are very tasty!
