A 12oz Cherokee Purple. Delicious, but I do need to find an earlier black tomato variety to add to the mix next year.

Good extra virgin olive oil, sea or pink salt, fresh ground pepper and some fresh homemade bread and I'm in Heaven! Add some prosciutto and mozzarella and I'm over the moon!

Looks amazing!

    A few more of these and I'll pick up some mozzarella cheese, harvest some basil and make Caprese salad. 🤤

    So jelly! My next run will be San Marzano tomatoes. From what I read they are excellent for sauces and actually counterfeited. Crazy thats a real thing!

    I hope they live up to your expectations! Wish I had more room so I could try them! Are you going to process most of them?

    My dream is I can grow hundreds of pound in greenhouses all year. Make sauce, sell at the farmers market and the rest goes to food banks.

    I would love to get some of those seeds. Thats a good looking fruit (yes people tomato is a fruit). So I can propagate, if I can get my dream going its going to a veggie/fruit making machine 24/7/365

    Also have a soft spot for Beef Heart Tomatoes, they are bad ass on a sammy :)

    A year-round tomato stall? Who wouldn't be excited for that!

    Its easy and not easy I posted this a few hours ago.

    Now I can run a machine and I'm a hobby welder with all the other skills I have. I'm apeing off his work. I can weld that greenhouse together, I can dig the holes (I will contract that out, I will waste more diesel than save money on a 100% digger)

    Then its simple M&C and like he showed years ago it can be run from a phone. How to grow is the key and I have that greenthumb.

    Although I can't grow strawberries, idk why I never had them take.
