Overview
Black Sea Man, a Russian heirloom, has two features that set it apart: potato-leaf foliage and a naturally small, determinate habit. Plants are compact enough for large containers and small gardens where sprawling indeterminates would be a nuisance, and modest staking is enough through their production window. The medium-sized fruit ripens mahogany-brown with olive-green shoulders, and the deep, marbled flesh has a rich, smoky-sweet flavor. Sow indoors roughly 6 to 8 weeks ahead of the last frost and set out into warm, fertile ground once frost is past.
