Default Black Krim (from my indoor plant)




And a cluster:




I'll add a couple shots of it when I cut into it to show the texture.

The size by the way is about the size of a small size baseball. I'll get back to you on the weight.

Well I cut it up. Pictures below as you can see. There is a slight gap inside, what causes that? Anyway I found out that the krim had ripened a bit too much, as it was very soft, on the borderline of mushy but not quite there yet. The flavor was sweet with some tomatoey undertones. Most probably would have been better if eaten roughly 1-2 days before. It was definitely edible, but we will wait to try a few more before we make any assumptions of what we should be expecting from this plant. That first tomato was on the vine for a really long time. The first one of the first blooms... starting in the midst of the winter where the sun was dim and growth was at a minimum, the plant barely crept along slowly but surely ever faster and forwardness into eternity... ohh yeah this is not a story, what am I thinking. So anyway I have some out in the garden to, I hope to see if those come out better also. Time will tell;D

That happens in the winter to tomatoes in the greenhouse. I am guessing it is lack of sun and heat.
