Black Russian?

Granny · May 3, 2007

Some of the seeds I've started this year are a variety called "Black Russian" from Thompson & Morgan. I had good germination, but at least half the plants were deformed and never took off. Now I have both potato leaf and regular leaf plants (all of which are supposed to be Black Russian) and all of the "Black Russians" seem very small - tiny even. The biggest is at best only half the size of a variety I'm growing that is supposed to be small, even though it is said at the T&M site to be a "medium sized" plant.

Anybody know anything about this tomato variety?
