Black From Tula
So many great varieties that we have grown or are growing list Black From Tula as a parent plant. I just had to try it to see why it has been used in so many breeding projects. Fruits are sweet, rich, smoky, and salty. Highly recommend for fans of purple or black tomatoes. more

Deep Space
I think I've included this variety in my top 10 for the last several years now. I love it. I can't stop growing it. Elongated plum tomatoes are a rich mahogany color with a metallic sheen and antho-brushed shoulders. Cut tomatoes open to reveal beautiful red & green bi-color flesh. A good balance of acid & sweet. Very productive. I love harvesting these by the handful in the fall. more
