Are you looking for a unique tomato to grow in your garden? If so, consider These tomatoes! This unusual variety has deep black skin and flesh and is said to have a rich, sweet flavor.
Here are some tips for growing These tomatoes:
In your garden, pick a sunny area with drained soil.
Six to eight weeks before the latest date of frost, start seedlings indoors. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in moistened potting mix, and keep the soil warm (around 70 degrees Fahrenheit).
After the last date of frost, transplant seedlings into the garden. Space plants 24-36 inches apart.
Water plants regularly, especially during dry spells. Plants can better retain moisture by being mulched.
Fertilize every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Tomato plants are heavy feeders, so they need plenty of nutrients to produce abundant fruit.
Harvest fruits when they are fully ripe (the skin will be shiny and deep black in color). Use a sharp knife to cut the fruit from the vine, being cautious not to harm the plant. Take pleasure in your freshly planted black tomatoes!
