My Dark Galaxy Tomatoes

I looked all over to find more info on people actually growing this variety when I decided to grow it, but there wasn't much, so I'm adding this here for future gardeners. Please bear in mind that it's tomato season where I am right now, and my area can be very different in terms of outcome for the more northern growers. (10B, Florida). Here's what I've learned:

1. Almost every tomato looks entirely different from the other. This is true for both Lucid Gem and Dark Galaxy, but especially Dark Galaxy. I've had some that were 2.5 ounces, some that were as much as 7 ounces. Some that had a lot of purple at the top, and some that had only a little. Some that stayed yellow/orange when fully ripe, and some that got bright red at the bottom. Also, many have a silver-ish patch that appears to be damage healing. It isn't like a normal scab. They are thin like the skin, not hard, and don't affect the flavor. It's possible it's just the skin and not damage, at all. This isn't a complaint, just an observation. Feel the tomato to test ripeness.
2. One interesting thing is that the first few that ripened were 'meh'. I was super disappointed. But the ones I'm picking now are much better. Fairly low on acid, sweet, stronger flavors. It's possible this is my fault for picking the earlier ones a little too early. But thought I'd note it. They taste nothing like the Cherokee Purples, which are my favorite, and I'm surprised by how much I like them.
3. It took a lot longer to ripen than any of my other tomato varieties this year. (Cherokee Purple, Amish Paste, Lucid Gem, and Blue Boar Berries). All of the Boar varieties took longer than the heirlooms, but this one was my slowest. I had many Amish Paste and a couple Cherokee Purples months before any of my Boar varieties ripened. It irritated me at first, but now I'm fine with it. Just note that you might have a similar issue.
4. They are beautiful tomatoes. My husband, who isn't a gardener, has remarked on how pretty they are a few times. People have very strong, curious, positive reactions to seeing them.
5. The plants are dense. Lot's of foliage. Lots. Way more than the heirlooms. This has two benefits. More energy for tomato making, and (the big one) the critters can't find them all. Heck, I've lost track of some and will stumble upon a ripe one when picking through them. I'm not big into pruning. I do some, but not nearly as much as conventional wisdom here states. It's a conscious decision and I'm sticking to it. I like the denseness. It's a prettier plant, imo.
6. About those critters, it seems they can't tell when this variety (or the Blue Boar Berries) are ripe. I can leave this one on the plant a lot longer than my Cherokee Purples or Amish Paste and still come back to untouched fruit. That is a huge plus, in my opinion.

Will I grow them again? Yes, most likely. This is only my 3-4 year growing tomatoes and I'm trying out varieties, so I might not do it again next year, but that would be a space issue more than anything.
