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

Zone 6 (NY) here... we just got out first ripe tomatoes last week from a couple of self seeded plants. The ones we started are almost ready.
We had a cool, wet Spring that didn't want to end. Fruit trees took the brunt of it.
