BLACK PRINCE

Description

This Russian gem gives a good crop of even-sized, juicy fruits with deep mahogany skin and greenish-pink flesh. Our own taste-testing result sheet said 'lemony flavour...very refreshing!'. (Cordon)

Sowing Advice

Seeds are surface-sown or covered only slightly. Do not allow the soil to dry out. Containers are held in warm conditions until sprouts appear, which may take anywhere from 3-10 days. Move sprouting plantings immediately to bright light conditions, such as a south-facing window. Inadequate light is a frequent cause of failure of young seedlings. At about the time of last frost, set out seedlings into pots.
