Grew a few plants both in the greenhouse and outdoors under temporary hoop cover. Even though I started seeds pretty late in early April, it still put on an impressive crop of large, red plum-shaped tomatoes.<\/p>\n<p>Trusses held 3-4 fruits each, running 6-7.8 oz (170-220 g) and bigger. Dense, meaty interior, but still plenty juicy. Flavor was very solid in my book, well balanced with a good harmony of sweetness and tang. Firm skin too, so the tomatoes keep for quite a while after picking. Got the seeds from Tatiana Kouchnareva.<\/p>\n<p><em>Edited September 14, 2016 by Drosera<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/145\/318-140916050837.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/145\/318-140916050837.jpeg\" alt=\"Maiden's Kiss tomato, photo posted by Yaroslavna\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ===== FULL SUMMARY ===== --><\/p>\n<div id=\"full-summary\" class=\"tldr-box\" style=\"background: #f4f9f4; padding: 20px; border-left: 5px solid #4CAF50; margin-top: 30px; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Full Summary: Plant, Yield, Taste and Storage<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant &amp; Origin:<\/strong> An open-pollinated variety originating from Nebraska, USA (surfaced around 2007).
