Bully, get back on the fence. Try it and see how it goes for you. I did have one that I liked a while back but must admit that the ones now are so-so.
The thing is there were 100 or so on a container plant. The yield is incredible. We had a few cold nights in the 40's or maybe it was overwatering or ???. I think the one in the ground may have tasted a tad better--I will taste them again today. Wonder how others would rate it? Especially in your neck of the woods. Be careful what Grub says--he's the Will Rogers of the tomato world! ![]()

naw, you don't want to move to S. Florida. We are all selling our dumpy 1970's houses for half a mil or more and moving up to GA or N. Carolina before the bubble bursts. 8) farkee(MCP)

Lol, I think the difference between Fla. and Georgia is more like night and day.

Great harvest, Farkee.
They all look nice and juicy. I've never grown Black Prince, but my Cherokee Purple did it for me this year. Has always been good, this year taste it was great. Production was low, though. ![]() Grub |

Well, I tried some more Black Prince toms that were grown in the ground. Not very good--just threw tons of them out. Tasteless. They were not overwatered or overfertilized --I wonder if just a few days of coolish weather could have that big of an effect?
I tried Cherokee Purple two years running and disliked that tomato too . Ditto Black Cherry. I have seeds for several other blacks but really don't feel in any rush to try them now. If you are into crosses the yield on Black Prince is incredible.

I think it was in 1981 on Christmas Day in middle-Georgia [a bit northeast of Macon] that temp hit 0 and wind chill was 50 below. Was in the woods deerhunting, dang near froze to death. FL ain't seen no temps like that since the last IceAge. :-)

it took 8 days but I knew you'd bite.
![]() I guess they didn't have weather forecasts back in 1981 ![]() |
