Tomatoes finally blushing

The black and other non-cherry tomatoes finally started blushing at the end of August. The tomatoes took between 70-72 days to break color, about 40 days after setting fruit. The DTM this year was about 10 days shorter than the last two years, probably due to the unusually hot summer temperatures, with highs in the mid-70s to mid-80s and lows in the high-50s to low-60s.

The Cherokee Purple was grown from seed saved from a CP plant grown in 2012, which was in turn grown from seed saved from a CP plant grown in 2011. This year's plant is producing unusually small fruit, only about 1.5 oz. versus the more typical 4-6 oz. CP fruit. However, it's very prolific compared to CP and other larger black tomatoes. I've already harvested 10 fruit, and the plant still has about 50 more fruit between 1-2" in diameter.

Last year I grew Isis Candy from seed but ended up getting 1" red cherry tomatoes that were almost as sweet as Sungold. I saved seed and planted two plants this year, Not Isis Candy I and II. The Not Isis Candy I plant is producing Jaune Flamme-size fruit with the look and sweetness of Isis Candy.
