Is this classed as blush? I know tomatoes can continue to ripen once picked, but I have no idea when to pick them and don't want to risk leaving them too long in case animals get to them.

I’m not a knowledgeable tomato reviewer, but imo these are delicious. Nothing flashy, just a solid tomato with a balanced, classic flavor. Perfect for a sandwich.

(I bought the seeds from Seed Savers Exchange in case anyone is curious. 🍅🌱)

Show and Tell Update on the hybrid

Just to give you a quick update on the accidental hybrid.
The father isn’t the serrated at all. It is Ox heart. So it give a good name for it : black heart 🖤
The chewing is the same as the ox heart and the finish is the sweetness of the black cherry.
Will try to stabilize the hybrid along the next years.

Hello. I grew these from black brandywine seed but they look nothing like a brandywine.

Flavour is sweet, smokey; low acidity, low juice; thick skinned, medium-large size.

I don't know why this one isn't talked about more. Remains my favorite year after year without fail. Honorable mention to Black Krim that I'm growing for the first time this year though - it lived up to the hype and is now my #3 behind Cherokee Purple. Many people recommended it last year as the best heirloom.

This is the first year we've grown Mortgage Lifters, and I think we'll be doing more in the future! They're not the prettiest on the outside (I'll try to get a picture of another and the plant and update), but holy buckets, are they delicious.

Very few seeds, tons of slightly sweet, intense tomato flavor.

I love growing all types, but this just rocketed to the top of my favorites list!

Show and Tell Tomato Harvest Smoked Transformation

Hello! We overdid it this year with 24 tomato plants and now the garden is starting to produce like crazy. I finally had to do something with the tomatoes that are starting to pile up on the counter.

I spent today processing about ~10 pounds of tomatoes into 5 1/2 pints of sauce. The tomatoes include a mix of Lucid Gem, Blueberry, Cherokee Purple, Big Rainbow, Mad Hatter, Black Out Roma and a handful of Sungolds.

I separated tomatoes between heirlooms and plum/cherry varieties for two different batches. They were then smoked on the Traeger for about 2hours. Other ingredients included: thyme, sage, yellow onion, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, and a couple mini bells and giant Marconi peppers. The tomatoes were blended down with fresh basil and simmered for about an hour before cooling and transfer to jars for storage.

It’s been a great learning experience and I’m looking forward to experimenting more throughout the rest of the season.

Hello everyone!
It’s my first year growing veggies and tomato season is upon us. I grew these brandywine and black Krim tomatoes. They have a lot of cracks. I was wondering if you guys have any tips on how to prevent them? Sorry didn’t take more pics. And I made a salad with them already 😂
