Tarasenko Chyornyi (Black Tarasenko) and some other my blacks
 

A local gardener gave me seeds for this non-commercial OP tomato variety her family have been growing for almost 10 years so far. To my surprise it gives me quite compact plant with no multiflora-type clusters like many other huge viny tomato giant plants developed by the late famous Soviet (Ukrainian) tomato breeder-enthuatist Fedor Tarasenko. This plant is compact indeterminate or semi-determinate and bears a brown-reddish beefsteaks like that (this Cinderella type pumpkin is called Adaggio and was picked by me today :D ). So here is another black tomato variety from my part of the world.

Hi Andrey,

Nice pics...
Variety sounds very interesting!
How does it taste?

Take care,
Randy

Thanks, Randy. Classic sweet flavor and not so smoky as with some other so called blacks...

That sounds like a wonderful tomato Andrey

Andrey,

What a great looking tomato!!! Pumpkin is nice too.
Any chance of getting some of the Tarasenko seeds fro you?

Alex

Seeds will be available in autumn for sure ;)

Hi Andrey,

Wouldn't mind trading for some of those Tarasenko Tomato seeds come fall...

Talk soon,
Randy
