Notes

"Japanese Black Trifele Tomato" Mid-sized pear-shaped tomato. Very large leaves; I suspect this is not really a container variety.

2013-09-12: First ripe tomatoes picked.

2013-10-01 - 2013-10-07: Juiced many many tomatoes.

2013-10-12: Retired one of the two plants.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
