Description
HEIRLOOM We love these luminescent slicers ripening from bright plum to rich, velvety black blushing brick red as they soften, ripening fully with rich heirloom flavor. We’ve never seen a tomato with so many anthocyanin pigments! The flavor of organic Black Beauty tomato deepens after ripe fruits rest on your counter for a week — we’re not sure why, we just know it’s sooOOooOooooo worth it ~
At Fruition, we sow tomatoes in soil blocks indoors 2 months before final frost, early April for us here in Zone 5, germinating them on heat mats with ease. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings.
