The black beauty seeds I was sent were not black beauty tomatoes.
They're some hybrid throwback to God knows what (hybrid plant seeds do not produce the parent plant. Oddly, they may go back many generations to some odd cousin plant)
It took 130 days to find out they're not black beauty and then only a week to find out I'll get this one set of tomatoes all at once and it'll do little afterward because on top of being wrong it's a determinate. Determinate gives you one group of ripened tomatoes almost all at once then crap out(basically) and indeterminate give you tomatoes sometimes for years.
They're small, red as a tomato can get, and really fairly to very good taste. I won't get three pounds, then the plant is almost worthless. I could baby another pound over months of time.
Luckily the beefsteak I have, better boy and beefsteak beefsteak original are like damn weeds. Throw a leaf on the ground, get a mater plant. We're about a month away and then staggered through next January.
I'll order more black beauty seeds but I'll get them right from the developer this time.
