Black Krim Tomato Seeds

Info: The Black Krim tomato comes from the peninsula in the Black Sea and is a fleshy stake tomato with medium-sized fruits which ripen to a deep red to sometimes black colour. The tomatoes reach an average weight of 250 g, are very flavourful and sweet, and have a soft fruit flesh. They are therefore particularly suitable for making sauces and juices, but they are also a feast for the eyes in salads due to their unusual colour. The plants grow up to 150cm high, and their shoots should be regularly pinched off. The harvesting phase begins in early June and can last into October.

Care: You can grow the Black Krim tomatoes inside the house, in a greenhouse or outdoors. The optimal germination temperature is between 20 and 25°C, and germination occurs after 8 - 14 days. You can speed up the germination process if you leave the seeds to soak overnight in a damp cloth. You should wait until after the last frost to plant your chosen plants.

Tomatoes need fresh, well-fertilised, permeable soil which is kept moist (but not wet!). They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more.
