Black Beauty - Indigo Mid-season Tomato
This variety produces fruit tinted dark indigo by the sun's action of anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants. They weigh from 150 to 300 g and contain thick, bright-red flesh with a flavor that intensifies after picking.
Brad, its creator, considers it one of the tastiest tomatoes he has selected.
The ripe fruit has a long shelf life on the plant, and can even be stored for a few weeks after harvest, enhancing its flavor.

Sow in pots at a temperature of between 16 and 20°C, under a well-lit shelter, 5 weeks before planting. After the last frosts, transplant the whole clump into the ground at a minimum distance of 50 cm, burying the stem up to the first leaves. Water abundantly at the time of planting.
Solanaceae need light and heat to produce. In cool climates, it's best to grow them under cover and, depending on the soil, water them regularly.
