Black Mariannas Peace.

[michael johnson]

For a couple of years now I have saved a few seeds of a Black Marrianas Peace, and wondering if or not to grow them again this year, I was not all that impressed by them the first time, as they were little different to the normal variety-other than being a very dusky greeny black with a hint of violet or purple here and there, so I hardly bothered with them until the very last few tomatoes hanging on the vine, and the frost almost got them too.

But i thought I may as well save a few seeds from one tomato for future use, so I eventualy ended up with a dozen or so seeds put by.

The only thing about it that I like was that it was slightly more productive and had more tomatoes on the vine later on in the season-but just as large as the original. but taste was basicly the same-slightly less sweet.

I might decide to give them another try this season-just for the novelty value, but probably wont eat many
