Well

I have been growing many tomato plants at home and at school and I brought in several very different types of tomatoes for the kids to try at school. We tasted these the other day in addition to what we grew in the school garden.

I am trying to expose them to all sorts of tomato types and teach them about heirlooms and seed saving. We fermented our first batch of tomato seeds the other day.

So I was quite surprised but a good number of the children actually really liked black krim.
It was about 80 children of 100 children, so about 80 percent liked it.

I want to make sure we grow something like it next year for them to try but I didnt want to be repetitive.

Also - I really like black krim, in addition to the sweet tomatoes I have been craving lately. I like that you can get all sorts of flavors out of the same fruit - sweet, salty, bitter...
I think that is a cool thing to teach, too.
