Tomato Seeds, Black Strawberry
Description
(Solanum lycopersicum). Fantastic, sugar-sweet tomato flavor, that is fruity, with a hint of grape and plum flavors. If you relish the experience of digging into a bowl of high-quality cocktail tomatoes, then the Black Strawberry is your tomato. This 2-ounce fruit is marbled in purple, pink, green, and gold. This extremely productive and early variety is an obvious choice for gardeners and market farmers who want rugged, early-producing plants but do not want to sacrifice eating quality. This variety produces much diversity in color, and some plants may produce grape-shaped fruit. One of the best-tasting tomatoes we have tried!

When to Grow
Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last expected frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed, typically in late spring. Make sure that temperatures don’t drop below 60 F to avoid stress on young plants.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in a seed-starting mix. Keep the soil temperature between 70-80 F for optimal germination, which takes 7-14 days. You can use a heat mat to help with this. When transplanting, space the plants about 24 inches apart to give them enough room to grow.
How to Grow
Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Prune by removing suckers and excess foliage to improve air circulation and direct energy toward fruit production. Fertilize regularly using a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer or an organic alternative. Monitor for common pests such as aphids and hornworms, applying organic pest control if needed.
How to Save
- Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and crossing isn’t likely; separating by 25 feet is sufficient for pure seed, except for the potato-leaf varieties like Brandywine.
- On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
- For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for 1-2 days is recommended.
- Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place, and good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.
