I am assuming that over the years that names vary and change.. I assume then that they are the same variety as Black Russian and Black Krim ? (The Crimea being a part of Russia)?Tuesday, September 01, 2009
What's in a Name?
As I mentioned in a previous post, one of my successes this year has been this large purple beefsteak tomato, the seeds were given to me by Mas du Diable in the Spring. They were labelled 'Noir du Crimee'

Those look delish!What a harvest.
ReplyDeleteAm very envious. I lost all the beefsteaks to blight - PAH!!
ReplyDeleteI will enjoy yours vicariously....

Our tomatoes were a disaster this year so I am getting my tomato fix visiting your blog!The visit to the U.S looks to have been a brilliant holiday sailing on the high seas in luxury.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I told myself after reading Cabbage Tree Farm's comment on previous post. Makes perfect sense.
ReplyDeleteI did however come upon this page where opinions vary.
Nice looking tomatoes but they bear no resemblance to the Black Russians I grew last year. Mine were smaller, certainly not beefsteak, and browner/blacker.
ReplyDeleteYou know something, Matron? I think there are many different names for the same tomatoes. I bet that one is the same thing as a black krim.
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely and large tomatoes. The color is unusual but nice... I may just try growing tomato again... haha. ~bangchik
ReplyDeleteYour veggies look gorgeous!! Saving for seeds is a nice thing to do.. Sometimes we forget and has to go and buy packets for next planting. ~bangchik
