Black Tomatoes!
Siberian Black Tomatoes! Being from Siberia, they have a short growing season, and are producing nicely already, even though I planted them late (end of May). I bought them on impulse, mainly for the novelty value, but they're an extremely flavourful, low-acid tomato, if a bit on the smallish side. I'm well-pleased, and will plant more (and earlier) next year. The variety is "Black Prince", from Bonnie.
They actually look more brown than black, I think. Sort of a brickish colour. Wonderful salad tomatoes!
I did a poor job of planting these, too. They're in open shade about half the day, and crowded too closely together. I think if I let them have more sunlight and space next year, they'll do even better. I could have left this one to ripen a day longer, I think. Still a tiny bit unripe in the very top quarter inch or so of the core.
