Description
The Purple Bumblebee is an indeterminate heirloom variety that produces small, round cherry-sized fruits with distinctive stripes and rich coloring. These tomatoes grow in clusters and have a firm, juicy texture with a flavor profile that balances sweetness with a hint of acidity.
Planting Instructions
- Seed Starting: Begin indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep moist.
- Transplanting: After the risk of frost has passed, transplant seedlings into well-prepared soil. Space plants 24-36 inches apart.
- Sunlight: Full sun exposure (6-8 hours per day).
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base to prevent foliage diseases.
- Support: Use stakes, cages, or trellises to support the sprawling vines and encourage airflow.
- Harvesting: Harvest when fruits are fully ripe and firm but yield slightly to pressure.
The Purple Bumblebee’s visually stunning fruits and prolific growth make it a favorite among heirloom tomato enthusiasts. Add this variety to your garden for a flavorful and colorful harvest.
