Growing Non-GMO Black Prince Tomato Vegetable Seeds

Germinate the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting them outdoors. Keep the soil at or above 80°F during germination. Seeds will fail to sprout in cool soil; transplanting out too early in the spring can negatively affect plant vigor. Transfer outdoors about two weeks after the danger of frost has passed. Harden off the sprouts before transplanting to avoid shock. Work fertilizer or compost into the soil before planting; transplant when the soil temperature is consistently at least 75°F.

Avoid fertilizers that are mostly nitrogen; if the nitrogen levels are too high, it will result in more foliage than fruit. Stake the bushes early to avoid falling. Fertilize at time of planting and twice more with a well-balanced fertilizer. Tomatoes tend to be heavy feeders. Cover the soil with black or dark-colored plastic if growing in a cooler region to retain soil heat. Water regularly enough to keep the soil from drying out. Reduce irrigations during harvest.

Black Prince Tomato in the Vegetable Garden

Black Prince Tomato plants can be an integral part of any vegetable garden. The deep-colored fruits are not only delicious but beautiful too. They require staking, and if interplanted with shorter and larger plants, the combination is quite attractive.

This variety is perfect for container gardens. One plant should have a cage or stake and at least a 10” pot for optimal plant health.

Harvesting Black Prince Tomato

Black Prince Tomatoes are ready for harvest when they are deep reddish purple and evenly firm. It is best to remove them from the plant when the upper half is dark in color but there are still traces of green.

About Black Prince Tomato Garden Seeds

There is some debate over what the true scientific name of tomato plants should be. You may also find the name Solanum lycopersicum. These are currently synonymous and represent the same group of plants.

Expect the fruits to be 2-3 inches wide and weigh 2-4 ounces.

These tomatoes always score very highly in taste tests. The flavor is rich and is perfect for fresh eating, in salads, or on sandwiches.

Not only are these delicious when eaten fresh, but they also perform well when cooked. Use them in any of the same ways that you use traditional grocery store tomatoes.

Growing tomatoes at home have a wide range of benefits. It is much better for the environment, the fruits are eaten quicker, they are higher in nutrients, and perhaps most importantly, you get to control any chemicals or substances that aid the growth of the plants. Grocery store tomatoes can be coated with pesticides and other substances that are known to cause health complications.
