Description

Another beautiful black tomato, this early-ripening variety produces sweet, large fruits with black shoulders and red interiors. Indeterminate. Flavorful AND full of anthocyanin (the antioxidant found in blueberries) too. Great for cool, damp season growing too. Resists cracking and sun scald.

Soil & Water: Tomatoes love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost prior to planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5-7.0. Soak the soil 4″-6″ deep at 7-day intervals.

Planting & Growing: Sow seeds in flats 6-8 weeks before the last frost and thin to 2″ apart after the first true leaves appear. Before transplanting after the last frost, harden off the plants by placing them outdoors for a few hours to start, increasing the amount of time each day until they are accustomed to a full day of sunlight.

Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when individual fruits give slightly under finger pressure.
