Sunstone Acres Urban Homestead

Gardening 👩🏼‍🌾 in small spaces. Tomatoes instead of flowers along the front of the house by the front sidewalk. Planted intensively (close together) so no weeding has been necessary. The plants grow so close together that the weeds don’t get sunlight to grow.

8 “cherry” size tomato plants (in a 12 ft row) doing great there.

2 Blue Berries
3 Bosque Blue Bumblebee
1 Indigo Rose
2 Purple Bumble Bee

Hundreds of bite size tomatoes to harvest in the coming weeks. 😋

True Black Brandywine tomato

This is a firm, fleshy, and juicy tomato. Its flavor has been described as a “classic tomato taste”, a decedent, well-balanced combination of smokey and sweet, making it a great complement to sandwiches and burgers and an excellent component for salsas.

Last call for tomato and pepper plants. Anything not sold after this weekend will be donated to organizations with community gardens to help feed families in need.

This is the Black Beauty tomato.

80 days. The darkest tomato we know! A dark, meaty, very rich-fleshed tomato with extreme anthocyanin expression (same antioxidant in blueberries and blackberries). So dark that some tomatoes turn solid blue-black on the skin. Deep red flesh is among the best tasting of all tomatoes. Rich, smooth and savory with earthy tones. Hangs well on the vine and stores very well, and the flavor improves with room-temperature storage. Seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company

Black Krim heirloom tomato

Black Krim combines bold, smoky flavor and good texture with an unusual appearance. Deep brown/red, 8-16 oz. tomatoes have brown/green shoulders that get darker with more heat and sunlight. High yielding. Indeterminate.
