RE: A Tomato Mystery: My Heirloom Journey with Black Krim (Or Is It?)
Thank you, yes, very sweet, the weather here was cooler, then warm in the summer when the fruit comes out.

I asked because, Tomato fruit colors has a very interesting feature, the collors (the actual molecule that gives the fruit its collors) are light sensitive. It has de function to protect the fruit from UV radiation from sunlight, so the fruit that are more exposed tend to be lighter colored (tending even to yellow, depending on the amount of sun they receive), and those that are more protected tend to be more stronger colored, so if the weather was cool and clowdy then the fruit shoul be darker, if the weather was sunny and warmer (and the fruit was exposed to sun) they tend to be lighter.
