German Pink Tomato Seeds | Heirloom

Description

(Indeterminate/85-90 Days)
German Pink is one of the original tomatoes that ignited the heirloom tomato craze in the United States! It’s been documented since 1883 when it was brought to the U.S. from Bavaria and has been a classic ever since. Strong plants produce large, nearly seedless, beefsteak tomatoes that weigh between 1-2 pounds (in ideal growing conditions) and are great for slicing, canning, juicing, soups, and stews. This is a fantastic beefsteak tomato!

Planting Instructions – Start tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Do not plant out until 2 weeks after last frost. Tomato seeds require high soil temperatures for good germination rates. We highly recommend heat mats to ensure and speed up germination. Pot up to 3–4 inch pots when first true leaves develop (not cotyledon leaves). Harden off plants for 1-2 weeks in full sun before transplanting them outside (after last frost). Make sure to give tomato plants a lot of space for vigorous root and foliage growth.
