Delicious!,

"I grew better boy, big boy, sun gold, grape, and black krim tomatoes this summer. By far I'm happiest with the flavor of the black krim. Flavorful and juicy, they blew the others away. My other tomato plants have had trouble with blossom end rot and disease, but the black krims were never affected. I've been so happy with this heirloom I'm now wanting to try other ones."

"I received this plant along with three other heirloom tomato plants the first of May. I planted them in a prepared bed and grew gigantic plants/vines, but did not get even one tomato off of any of the plants. It was money wasted on my part."

Black Krim Grim,
July 10, 2009

"I love tomatoes and I was so excited about these tomatoes. I planted the seed indoors and treated them with TLC. I planted them outdoors after danger of frost had passed. Again I treated my plants with TLC. I caged them, fertilized them, and loved them. in anticipation of a meaty tomato with intense tomato flavor.
Hmm....not so much.
Though the plants are beautiful. and the tomatoes appear to be delicious. I am hugely dissapointed, Here are the reasons.
1. Tomatoes do have a different color to them, but nothing like the picture.
2. they seem to ripen unevenly, they stay green on the top of the tomato and ripen on the bottom. Thought it was just me. So i tried one.
3. By the time they do ripen, they have rotten spots and the skin is split.
4. BUGS LOVE THEM.
5. Of the 12 plants I raised from seed i have gotten ONE pretty tomato off of the vine. I cut it open with great anticipation. It looked pretty, nice and meaty, just they way I like, then I bit into the slice to find the flavor very dull. With only a slight tomato flavor.
6. Also, there are not many tomatoes on the vine, and the plant and the blooms fell off and the plant has quit blooming.
7. I have had to throw away nearly every tomato, for one reason or another, spots, bugs.
Now, I know what you are thinking....split skins and rotten spots....too much water..... NO. I promise.
ALL OF MY STANDARD varieties that i grow every year are doing just fine."

"The krim is the best tasting tomato
I have tried.I have been growing veggies for over 20 years and have grown many different varieties.I have found if you heavily fertilize they will produce a bunch.Added bonus people look at them and assume they are rotten.I have 6 krim and am trying the Italian ice this year."
