Tomato 'Black Russian' Heirloom Seeds - Black Russia

It was the tomato that inspired our business, and in particular this old heirloom variety that produces a dark skinned, almost purple coloured, sweet fleshed tomato of the absolute highest quality. When to Plant Zone 1: October–December Zone 2: August–December Zone 3: August–January Zone 4: April–July Soil Tomatoes are very nitrogen- hungry, so prepare the soil by integrating nitrogen-rich pea or broad bean plants into your soil as a green manure. Alternatively, mix compost and chook manure through your patch a fortnight prior to planting. Soil pH Level 5.5–7.5 Position Choose a sunny, well-drained spot in your patch, preferably a place you haven’t grown tomatoes in the previous season. How to Plant Propagate in seed trays.
