We grow these every year, they are the best classic heirloom tomatoes! Meaty, intense color and delicious flavor.
We grow these Black Krim tomatoes every year from your seed, they're super tasty and have meaty flesh. Great for Caprese Salad or even for making marinara sauce. The color is gorgeous when you cut into these beasts.
These heirloom seeds sprouted FAST, and the plants grew huge with super tasty, fat purple-black tomatoes. Will grow every year!
