'Black Cherry' - Russian Heirloom Tomato

This is the winner!

Of all the tomatoes I have grow in 2010 this is the one I personally like the best. Motivation?

1. I like the size - Small but not to small, one can still slice it.

2. It has this very pretty colour,  it is not very black more a lovely wine/bordeaux colour.

and  last  but the most important...

3.The taste - strong, tangy, sweet taste, just the way I like it!

I started growing this 'Black Cherry' in early spring, indoors at first in a small pot. Later in May I moved to plant into my greenhouse and gave it a large container to grow strong in. Added some ash and (Dolomite) lime to the soil and later on I gave the plant Biobact ecological fertilizer. In July when it was time for my sailing vacation I took most of the plant outside and let mother nature do most of the watering and it sure did, it rained from weeks. I do cut the leaves back when the plant grow too big leaves and by that let the tomatoes get the nutrition and at this time (July) I stop giving them any more fertilizer, I find that the fruit gets a bit sweeter when I do that.

Så här skrev jag i KÖKSTRÄDGÅRDEN tidigare i våras när jag hade beställt frö ifrån Baker Creek Seeds

Black Cherry Tomato  

Svart körbärstomat. Det låter som en tomat helt i min smak.Vackra svarta körsbärstomater, ser ut som stora, mörka lila druvor, de har den kraftiga rika smaken som de svarta tomaterna är berömda för. Läcker, vacker och ger bra avkastning. +75 dagar. Kan det bli bättre?

'Black Cherry' blev 2010 års vinnare i min alldeles egna tomattävling.

Otroligt god, fint utseende och fin storlek - en lagom stor munsbit.
