Ooops, my black tomato this year is not a Krim, I tried the Russian one couple of years ago, but I wasn't overly impressed with the flavour. This year I'm growing a Paul Robson for a change. Perhaps I'll get a chance to try a Brandywine next year.

This year I'm also using Super Red Mulch under my tomatoes. I don't know if it is doing the trick or not, as I planted my, as yet non -fruiting varieties a little later than the Early Girl. I also don't know if 40 tomatoes on a bush variety tomato is an exceptional yield around here.

I was wondering if I also tacked the mulch on the wall behind my tomatoes if this might help them along even more. Then again it might really just confuse the hummingbirds and make the south side of our house look even less attractive than it already is.
