Subject: Re: [NAFEX] Purple or black
tomatoes (slightly off topic)
I did a careful search through SSE tomato
listings and noted that most people who rave over black tomatoes live up
north. I think that the darker color warms the fruit enough to get some
enzyme action that you'd normally only find in southern grown fruit. I'm
curious about the opinions of others on this. I have not been
particularly impressed by black tomatoes myself, and they tend to sunburn
here. If you want, Sam, I can send you all my old seeds. Can't
guarantee that any particular variety will grow, but some certainly
will. I have:
Black Plum
Black Tomato
Black Cherry (that was pretty nice)
Cherokee Purple (the potato leaf one does pretty
well for me, and it is good)
Prudens Purple (only good when dead
ripe)
probably some others when I dig through my seeds
in March. Donna Z6 TN
