SRS ... I too got a dog this year. Beagle, a bit of an idiot. I too have had to put a fence round my raised beds. Fortunately it only needs to be a foot high as the little bugger never looks up!

The Black from Tula variety is one of the Siberian/Russian tomatoes. I had a salad of these heirlooms last year at teh Cafe Brio in Victoria, BC; one slice each of four different ones, red, yellow, green (though ripe) and black (which looked off-putting) total size about one very large tomato. It cost $14.95 (!) but my goodness it tasted fabulous.
