Sleeping lady from seeds sent to me by gixx! These are cool little plants. That cluster has about a dozen tomatoes in there...the biggest few are about the diameter of a tennis ball. I may be hooked...

They look like apples.

Holy moly, yours did MUCH better than mine. Though mine had a rough start and less than optimal conditions, excuses, excuses, yeah yeah.

Really looking good as I said much better than mine. But I liked this plant and it is on the slate to come back next year.

Show us some ripe pics. My plants are goners at this point. No problem there are many more to take it's place.

Thanks! These were even the plants that got blown over in the storm before I staked them. They're in a good spot in some good, rich soil. I'll take some pics when they ripen...

Well...been harvesting this variety for a while now. These are not quite ripe. The green shoulders fade as they ripen. Coloration is pretty similar to Cherokee Purple, but the fruit are slightly smaller and more "lobed". (whats the term for what I'm describing...? A heavily creased tomato...?)



I cut this one and ate it even though it was not quite ripe. I'm the type of guy that opens Christmas presents on December 22nd...



Very tasy. There's something different there that I can't quite put my finger on, but I like it. I got into one a little while ago that was fully ripe. Very nice tomato. Plants are still going strong as well....

Nice. Another happy customer.
