Organic Paul Robeson Tomato Art Pack
Organic Paul Robeson Tomato Art Pack
Savor Russian Tradition
The Paul Robeson Tomato, a revered heirloom variety, finds its origins shrouded in Russian folklore. Named after the famed African-American singer, actor, and activist Paul Robeson, this cultivar is believed to have originated from Siberia or the Black Sea region and was introduced to the United States in the 20th century.
Belonging to the Solanum lycopersicum species, the Paul Robeson Tomato showcases a distinctive appearance. Its medium-sized, globe-shaped fruits exhibit a striking deep maroon or purple hue with hints of green on the shoulders when ripe. The plant itself is characterized by indeterminate vines, which, when properly supported, sprawl gracefully, showcasing clusters of these mesmerizingly colored tomatoes.
Renowned for its exceptional taste, the Paul Robeson Tomato offers a complex flavor profile—smoky, sweet, and tangy with a hint of earthiness. Its rich, juicy flesh makes it a favorite among tomato enthusiasts, perfect for slicing fresh in salads or adding depth to sauces and dishes.
Cultivating the Paul Robeson Tomato from seed requires specific growing conditions. These tomatoes thrive in warm climates with ample sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Well-draining, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8 is optimal for their growth. When planting from seed, it's recommended to start indoors approximately 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seedling trays or small pots, keeping them consistently moist and warm until germination occurs.
Transplant seedlings into larger containers or the garden once they have developed several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed. Providing support such as stakes or cages for the sprawling vines is essential for healthy growth and fruit production. With proper care, the Paul Robeson Tomato rewards growers with a bountiful harvest of delectable, visually stunning fruits.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Tomatoes love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost prior to planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5-7.0. Soak the soil 4"-6" deep at 7-day intervals.
Planting & Growing: Sow seeds in flats 6-8 weeks before the last frost and thin to 2" apart after the first true leaves appear. Before transplanting after the last frost, harden off the plants by placing them outdoors for a few hours to start, increasing the amount of time each day until they are accustomed to a full day of sunlight.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when individual fruits give slightly under finger pressure; the shoulders may not have changed color yet.

from 9231 reviewsThe cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
