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

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.
