Midnight in Moscow
Midnight in Moscow
We had high hopes for this tomato. It has all the allure of the of the black varieties, but none of the taste. Not to say that it isn’t a good basic tomato, it just lacks the sparkle that we’ve come to expect. Compared to Carbon and Cherokee Purple, this tomato just does not stand up to the test.
For me, Midnight in Moscow was a great tasting, heat resistant variety that also came about in two colors. Purple and Black, one had the clear epidermis, and the other had the yellow epidermis. I grew these out in 2011 from seeds that I got from Marianne Jones in Tennessee. This years results were far better, more productive and still very sweet and delicious. We have had over 9 inches of rain this month in Mississippi, and as far as I could tell, the purple ones were prone to cracking. I am saving seeds from both colors, and will be glad to share some.
