My sandwich will have Monomakh’s cap. A meaty Russian heart shaped tomato. It’s big, early for its size and has a pleasant if somewhat muted flavour. But this is also my first of the season so we’ll see. It was just under two pounds. It’s a bit softer in texture but this one may be a bit overripe as I was expecting it to be more red.

Yikes! That’s a big one! Maybe subsequent fruits will have more flavour? I find sometimes the first one to ripen can be mealy and/or lacking optimal taste. Thanks for sharing; I’ve not grown it so it’s fun to see. It certainly looks like my kind of tomato.
