Was gifted these plants, grew em an hoped for the best. Curious what type of cherry tomatoes these are? Do they turn the bright orange before the deep red, or did I wait too long?
Also, I believe picture two is Black Krim, hoping for confirmation.
Looting to make tomato sauce with both varieties, is that worth my effort? Planning to use a very basic recipe, then freeze.
First time grower and sauce maker! Your input is appreciated!

2nd pic looks like Cherokee Purples to me.
The first lot looks identical to my Bumblebee blend tomatoes.
First would be bumblebee cherries – sunrise and purple, respectively. The second does look like a Black Krim to me, especially with the green shoulders and concentric cracking at the top. They also tend to have a certain typical internal structure. I find Cherokee Purple to be a slightly brighter color, and the green turns dark, then fades from the shoulders on CP’s I’ve grown. Krim retains the green shoulders until it’s overripe.
Indigo fireball and Cherokee purple?
Seconding the bumblebee blend. Not sure about second pic.
Possible pink bumblebee in the first pic top right
