Bought the seeds super late, around April 8-10th, but figured I&#8217;d plant them anyway just to see how they taste. I planted two per hole and pruned them to a single leader. They got to about 5 feet (1.5 m) tall and set 3 trusses each. Some ripened on the vine. The flavor is really nice and sweet. Pulled the rest green and they ripened up indoors beautifully, barely lost any flavor. We were eating the last of them in early November.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20230220_001902.jpg.f11e852a72a1be7eba4f0747f76408d1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20230220_001902.thumb.jpg.479add4c0e30675985809b49133989ef.jpg\" alt=\"Green Honey tomatoes ripened off the vine indoors\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20220908_143021.jpg.62deb6873ec8439d160a5b999fe9b694.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20220908_143021.thumb.jpg.fe6e0e1bc493c7bb86617686da752a63.jpg\" alt=\"Green Honey cocktail tomatoes on scale\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20220908_143103.jpg.ab948352c78bdbd29a849e017e3e231f.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_02\/IMG_20220908_143103.thumb.jpg.b5c484c88300af788dfb9775a5487f0d.jpg\" alt=\"Sliced Green Honey tomato showing green flesh\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">T<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">tatsyana (Tatyana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\ud83c\udf31 Beginner Grower (7 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Belarus (USDA Zone 5)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Grew Green Honey in the greenhouse back in &#8217;21. It didn&#8217;t start ripening until closer to fall, which I actually loved because most of my other plants were already dying back by then. The flavor is sweet, juicy, and just really unique. Whenever I&#8217;m thirsty out in the garden, this is the tomato I crave! Grew it again outdoors in the dirt in &#8217;22. We had a super hot summer, but the plant performed exactly the same. It earned a permanent spot in my garden rotation for sure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"editor-note\" style=\"background: #eef7ff; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #2196F3; margin-top: 15px; font-size: 1.2em;\"><strong>\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf3e Editor&#8217;s Note: The &#8220;Honey vs. Grape&#8221; Confusion<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re wondering why the growers in this thread are arguing about translations, it all comes down to a notorious printing error by a Russian seed company called <em>Nash Sad (Our Garden)<\/em>. They released a tomato under the Russian name &#8220;Zelenii Myod&#8221; (which literally translates to <strong>Green Honey<\/strong>), but they mistakenly printed the English translation as &#8220;Green Grape&#8221; right next to it on the packet!This sparked a massive debate among Russian heirloom collectors about whether they were just buying the classic American heirloom <em>Green Grape<\/em> rebranded, or if it was a completely distinct, newer variety called <em>Green Honey<\/em>.
