Garden 2012
Even with the hottest summer we’ve ever known in Atlanta, the tomatoes still manage to do their thing. Some are thriving… others surviving. Some are surviving better than others. The juliets and black cherries are gorgeous. And, the one lone Black prince has already produced more than any other plant (except for the Juliets). One single Black Prince has produced almost 10 tomatoes to date. It’s incredible. While the Black Krim live, they’re struggling in the heat.
The Best of the Year (so far):
Juliet
Black Prince
Black Cherry
Bush Goliath
Mortgage Lifter
Black Krim
Sweet ‘n Neat
(Listed in order of taste and productivity.)
On taste alone, the black cherry would be the winner by a mile.
We’ll definitely be growing Juliets next year. We’ve seen them described as a grape or mini plum. Size-wise, we’d say they’re a mini plum. But, flavor-wise, they’re so much more. They’re incredible. They offer just the right sweetness, they’re rich with tomato flavor, and they have a pleasingly firm (but not too firm) texture.
