Originally from Krymysk near the Black Sea, Black Krim tomatoes thrive in a wide range of climates and are naturally disease-resistant. The plants are prolific producers of large, dark purple to mahogany fruits with green shoulders, weighing 227-283g (8-12 oz). These hardy vines can reach heights of 1.8 meters (6') and require substantial staking or caging to support their heavy fruit load.

Key Features:

Juicy, Smoky Flavor: Complex sweet, smoky taste with a hint of saltiness.
Large Fruits: Prolific producers of 227-283g (8-12 oz) tomatoes.
Certified Organic: Grown without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
Indeterminate: Tall vines that continue to produce fruit until frost.
Open-Pollinated: Ensures natural and vigorous growth.
Matures in 80 Days: Late-season variety for extended harvests.

Growing Information:

Season: Warm season crop.
Exposure: Full sun for optimal growth.
Timing: Start indoors in early spring with bottom heat. Transplant outdoors once nighttime temperatures are consistently above 10°C (50°F).
Germination: Optimal soil temperature is 25-35°C (68-95°F). Seeds sprout in 7-14 days.
Sowing Instructions: Sow seeds 5mm-1cm (¼-½”) deep. Keep seedlings under bright light to prevent legginess.

Care Tips:

Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Mix finished compost and manure into the soil, and add 1 cup of balanced organic fertilizer beneath each transplant.
Support: Use heavy staking or caging to support the tall vines and heavy fruit load.
Watering: Regular watering is vital, but avoid letting the plants sit in water. Stop watering around the end of July to encourage fruit ripening.
Transplanting: Space indeterminate transplants 50-75cm (20-30") apart in rows 1m (3') apart.

Harvesting:

Timing: Harvest when the fruit is the desired color. Green tomatoes can ripen indoors at cool temperatures if they are blemish-free.
Method: Pick fruits regularly to encourage continued production.

Pest & Disease Management:

Blossom End Rot: Prevent by ensuring even watering and adding calcium to the soil.
Late Blight: Use drip tape for watering and avoid splashing the leaves. Apply Bordo Copper Spray regularly in late summer.
Flea Beetles: Protect young plants with Floating Row Cover.

Companion Planting:

Best Companions: Asparagus, basil, beans, borage, carrots, celery, chives, collards, cucumber, garlic, lettuce, marigold, mint, nasturtium, onion, parsley, and peppers.
Avoid: Brassicas, dill, corn, and potatoes to prevent pest and disease spread.
