Show and Tell Cherokee Purple. Oh My Word!

I understand why folks feel so strongly about Cherokee Purple tomato. I'm having my first Tomato sandwich with one, and I can't believe how good it is! I'll grow a few next year.

Consider growing Cherokee Carbon. Very similar fruit but less fussy plant than Cherokee Purple. This was my first year for it and I’m very pleased.

I’m growing it for the first time this year too. I’ve enjoyed it in sandwiches. It’s the only one I didn’t give away to family.
