Doubt you'll care for the taste. Please just send it to me now, and it can finish ripening en route.

Did not disappoint!
I had my parents over and we sliced it up. My step mom is a damn good gardener and my dad, a professional eater, everyone agreed the flavor was EXCELLENT and the consistency was top notch. These will be in my garden from now on.
My wife’s comment was the best, “this reminds me of what a tomato can be!” A fine job-well-done right there
I must add. Just as good naked as with a dash of salt. I am a salt LOVER so that is a big big compliment lol

I am insanely jealous right now. But did you really doubt me? For shame DC!

I'm so jealous, not only do you already have ripe tomatoes, but delicious ones at that! I won't be sowing my seeds until end of March...
You guys have made me so curious about Cherokee Purple that I looked to see if I could find some seeds here. Luckily I did, and discovered that the vendor also has Cherokee Chocolate, which is a mutated Cherokee Purple... Not sure if these big beef types will ripen in the short Dutch summers, but I'll give it a try!

There's a cherry tomato, Chocolate Cherry, that should perform well and time for the short grow season. They're usually on my list to grow. Might get one just as insurance.

Excellent suggestion, and the vendor that has the Cherokee Purple also has these! I used to sow the same 2 varieties each year, and have started testing a few new types the past couple years to see what else does well here. Black Krim is one of them, and they produce fruit until quite late in the seaon. Even the last ones (harvested just before the first frost early november) were very sweet.
Looks like I'll be testing Cherokee Purple and Chocolate Cherry this year. While searching for them I found a website with another type I'm curious to try, called Currant Sweet Pea. The tomates are tiny, pea sized things, and each plant produces hundreds of them over a season.
