2014 Tomato Growing

That's Black Krim, it's got a savoury salty flavour, it's lovely fried on toast for brekkie

 

Black Krim it isn't acidic at all, not the best of yields but one fruit makes two brekkies, it's as good as bacon. Have you seen the taste test thread?

£2! Yikes! This may be too late but you can easily save the seed from Black Krim (and all other non-F1 tomatoes). Just scoop a few out as you're eating them and put them on kitchen roll, let them dry naturally away from the sun for a few days. Come sowing time next spring you don't have to separate the seeds from the kitchen roll, just put a piece of the kitchen roll with a few seeds attached into seed compost and cover as normal.

Sounds very interesting, I'd appreciate you letting us know what it was like on your return

 

We have been away for a week and have picked another washing-up bowl full, will have to start freezing/processing them now. The plants are still growing strong, just a couple I had to remove due to grey mould (botrytis). Also got a lot ripened on my outdoor Manx Marvels, been cooking them as they are still very bland.

 

Hey! That's my home town!

My toms are on the out. They didn't give as much as I'd hoped so I cut the losses and removed all foliage; just waiting on the last bowlful or so left to ripen before clearing and cleaning the greenhouse
