\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Krovavaya Meri (Bloody Mary) is a mid-season indeterminate<\/strong> variety specifically promoted for making rich tomato juice. Revived from a seed packet that expired in 2000, it produces smooth, round red tomatoes with a classic, old-school tomato bite that isn’t overly sweet. While the name might not be for everyone, it proves to be a solid, resilient plant. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

I’ll be honest right off the bat, I really don’t care for the name. But it is what it is.<\/p>\n

The seeds were from the Nash Sad company and they expired way back in 2000. Only a single seed popped, and it was super late, but the plant eventually bounced back and managed to set a few fruits.<\/p>\n

The packet was just a plain white envelope, but it did have a description printed on it. I’m guessing it got such a bloodthirsty name because the company heavily promoted it for making tomato juice, specifically for mixing up Bloody Mary cocktails.<\/p>\n

It’s an indeterminate, moderate vigor vine. Mid-season. Yields weren’t anything to write home about, but I’m sure a healthy, properly started plant would produce a lot more. The tomatoes are round, red, and smooth. Good, traditional tomato flavor, though definitely not on the sweet side.<\/p>\n

All in all, setting the name aside, I really liked this variety.<\/p>\n
