Ildi was my best producer last year, and they were SWEET SWEET SWEET if they didn't get too much water. Kept on going even after frost too, and had the best disease resistance in my garden to late blight.

I have never heard of these before - and I've been on the hunt for something to replace black cherry. We love cherry tomatoes here, and at least half of my plants are cherries. Is it a hybrid? Would you call them red or purple/black? I'd love more info about this plant. Do you by any chance have seeds to swap?

I was looking at them too, because they look like a really ripped Black Cherry that ripens on the Tomatoes Vine near the end of the growing season.

I grew both pink and purple bumblebees in last year. The flavor was ok nothing special. We had an unusually wet season though and not only did they not stand out flavor wise they both split terribly. I won't grow them again this year. My favorite small tomato was the currants I grew last year but that's an entirely different category.
