Christel's Plum?

French Black?

Very dark green tomato

Orange Favourite or Gold Medal?

The jury's out on the identity of this one at the moment!

Cuor di Bue tomato

Cuor di Bue or Ox Heart lives up to its name! A wedge shaped tomato, similar to a strawberry.

Looking forward to seeing these ripen up!

Tomato identity parade!

Thanks to a very generous friend, VVG, I have grown 10 tomato varieties this year that I have never seen or grown before. The excitement is building as each one slowly edges its way to ripeness - and this year has been remarkably slow.
I propagated many of the armpit shoots but failed to identify which was which so it is only by matching the fruit with its parent that I can find out. The additional fumble factor is that 3 of the original labels are faded and illegible!
So here is the list of varieties and I'll try to match them with the tomatoes eventually!
Gold Medal x 2
Black Krim
Gardener's Delight
Christel's Plum
Orange Favourite
Purple Ukraine
Salt Spring Surprise x 2
Cuor di Bue
French Black
Costoluto Fiorentino

Black Krim - the taste test!

 Never having grown a black tomato I was unsure about when to pick it. There was a little give in it when I gave it a squeeze so off it came. It has a very short stalk so detaching it was difficult, but I won!
Weighed in at 5 ounces - I only do old measurements.

 It has a very deep dimple in its bottom!

Gloriously dark and juicy -and incredibly sweet - as if it had been dusted with sugar.
Not many seeds but I managed to extract some and they are now fermenting, prior to saving them for   next year.

A last view before lunch!

Black Krim Tomato

This is Black Krim. Very distinctive marking even when small.
Has a tendency to fork all over the place and become quite sprawling. Fruits have a dimple in their bottoms!
No sign of ripening yet.
