tomato variety of mid-season ripening
And for me, it was early. Or, maybe, my “early” just came late….. A very tasty, beautiful tomato.
Girls, slightly off-topic here.
I went to the Tomato ID thread, but no one could help me figure it out.
It grew as an off-type from Redko’s ‘Syzranka’ seeds. Maybe I have a BE (Black Emperor) too.
