2009 Growing Notes
I am documenting the growth of my plants and the quality of the fruit. The Cherokee Purple tomato is considered by many to be the best tasting tomato.
What is a Cherokee Purple tomato?
Unique dusty rose color. Flavor rivals Brandywine, extremely
sweet. Productive plants produce large crops of 12 oz. fruits.
Indeterminate, 80 days from transplant.

Update for Jun-10-2009
Went out to the garden today and saw many blossoms among green fruit. The blossoms get me excited, too, because I know once they are pollinated, a tomato will begin growing behind it. This season is looking promising, with potential for many tomatoes to be harvested.

Today I went to the garden with the kids and recorded a little bit of video of a Cherokee Purple tomato plant loaded with green fruit.
