Tomato - Black Krim 'Lycopersicon Lycopersicum', is an early, rich flavored old heirloom from the Crimean peninsula of Russia. It is a "novelty" that does not sacrifice taste. Black Krim produces good sized, black, beefsteak-sized tomatoes with a rich, earthy, almost smoky flavor. This variety will set well in the heat but will also set well in other adverse conditions. It is the most reliable of the black tomatoes. Black Krim is an intermediate tomato which means they continue to grow indefinitely until frost. Tomatoes are generally started inside. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. |
