Ruslan

Dutch · September 11, 2015

This picture of Ruslan was taken in the morning with the sun shining from the east. The bottom is facing west and is shaded so it looks darker in the picture, but actually the tomato is fairly even colored. If anyone would like me to take another picture this afternoon, I will do so. I can pick it and slice it open to show what the inside looks like too.

I am hoping the tomato was named after the Kievan knight in the story about Ruslan and Lyudmila. If there is a Lyudmila tomato it would be so cool to grow them next to each other.
I think I will have Chernomor tomato seeds to grow out next year but I will grow them in another part of the garden. Chernomor tomatoes remind me of the sorcerer Chernomor, who like in the story of Ruslan and Lyudmila, could take many different shapes and forms.
