This tomato quite impressed me in 2017, and quite the opposite in 2016. This year, it's producing medium to small midseason fruits. It's doing okay, but it got much bigger and earlier fruit last. I suppose it perhaps would have gotten bigger and earlier fruit without the black plastic. I tasted the first fruit, today. It was splitting and/or cracking and overripe (I should have picked it on Saturday. The taste was mild. It wasn't particularly acidic. There wasn't a lot of overt sweetness. It would make a refreshing juice, and the taste grows on you, but it was mild. It felt pretty healthy, though, and my teeth felt firmer after eating it. So, it seems to have positive nutritional properties that the previous tomatoes I ate today didn't. It seems to maybe have longer hang-time this year, if it can be ripe and wait a few days.

On further reflection, I gave this plant some wood ash, and very few of the other plants the same. That could potentially account for the more nutritious feel of it, due to the extra trace minerals or something.
I could be wrong, of course.
