My first Black Krim, Black from Tula

FILMNET · July 27, 2010

good thing i picked them yesterday, they had green shoulders and not to soft, 1 day in a paper bag with a banana. i just tasted the Black Krim which is cut, Black from Tula is next.
Nice flavor for the first fruit on this BK, now 7 more any day now . O MY!!!

Very nice looking!!

I like to let them ripen on the counter out of direct sunlight without the paper bag or bananna but cannot say I have ever tried the bag and bananna so not sure how much more it would speed up ripening or affect end flavor due to the sped up ripening.

The best tasting tomato is vine ripened. Some people like to ripen them on a sunny windowsill. At the end of the season, use the alternate methods to ripen the greenies.

I sure will leave them on plants longer now, i have 1 or more from all 14 plants now, except for Cherokee purple, Stump was very nice picked early, Mariannes peace i picked early also, looks beautiful, blacks are my favorite now.Tula ,Krim,Black Cherry's, still waiting for a Carbon in a pot. Iam trying to get my plants to develop new fruit in the middle or top of my plants. Because i got huge fruits on the bottoms as the plants were growing 60 days ago. Wondering if i can use Neptune/fish emulsion now , no Miracle Grow anymore this year?
