‘Vernissage Pink’ Tomato, organic seeds (Solanum lycopersicum) Gaia describes this heirloom tomato as attractive, highly productive, and flavorful. Pink S/P-size fruit begins in midseason, and the indeterminate plant continues bearing through the season. Fruit is especially suited to eating raw in salads, tomato platters, and sandwiches. A large cage or sturdy stake supports vines with continued growth and keeps clusters accessible. Fully expressed pink colouring makes fruit ready for harvest easy to recognize during regular garden visits and helps maintain a steady picking routine. The colour remains visually distinctive when sliced.

Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting, approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep. Gaia lists germination in 5 to 10 days from 10 to 35°C, with an optimum of 23 to 29°C. Provide bright light immediately after emergence. During hardening off, gradually reduce watering and nitrogen without allowing plants to wilt. Transplant after frost risk has passed into warm, fertile, well-drained soil with 24 to 36 inches of spacing. Install support at planting and water deeply at soil level. Check ties as indeterminate vines lengthen.

Gaia lists approximately 70 days to maturity, a height of 4 to 6 feet, and a spread of 2 to 3 feet. Harvest after the pink fruit has expressed its full colour. Fruit that has begun colouring can finish ripening off the vine above 21°C. The packet contains approximately 25 organic seeds, lot GOG780, with reported germination above 85%. The open-pollinated heirloom seeds are certified organic by Ecocert Canada. Harvest regularly to support the stated all-season bearing and reduce weight on clusters. Keep the lot label beside seedlings and garden notes.
