Botanical nameSolanum lycopersicum ‘Pink Million’
Organic pink ‘Pink Million’ cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum ‘Pink Million’) is an organic vigorous highly productive variety valued for numerous clusters of small 2–3 cm pink fruit. Juicy flesh and sweet flavour suit salads snacks appetizers lunch boxes and colourful garnishes. The workbook lists harvest 65–75 days after transplanting but does not specify growth type height or spread. Fruit continues through the summer season.
Sow indoors March through April six to eight weeks before last frost approximately 0.5 cm deep. Maintain 21–27°C and even moisture; germination generally takes 7–14 days. Provide intense light immediately after emergence, pot up after true leaves, and harden gradually. After frost transplant in full sun into fertile organic-rich well-drained soil. Install a cage or stake to support loaded stems without assuming an unconfirmed growth type.
Water deeply and consistently at soil level without saturating the ground, then mulch once it is warm. In a large deep container check moisture often during hot weather. Harvest when 2–3 cm fruit is uniformly pink and yields slightly to gentle pressure. Pick frequently to enjoy extended summer production. Monitor cracking blossom-end rot insects and foliar disease. Before frost bring developed fruit indoors and discard mouldy slimy or abnormal-smelling fruit.

Growing method
Sow Pink Million indoors March through April six to eight weeks before last frost 0.5 cm deep. Maintain 21–27°C and even moisture until emergence in 7–14 days. Provide intense light, pot up after true leaves, and harden gradually. After frost transplant in full sun in the ground or a large deep container. Install a cage or stake, water at soil level, and mulch. Harvest frequently 65–75 days after transplanting once 2–3 cm fruit is uniformly pink.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Soil pH
Approximately 6.0 to 6.8
Care level
Moderate
Watering
Water deeply at soil level when the top three to five centimetres begin to dry while maintaining moisture as evenly as possible. Alternating drought and heavy watering encourages cracking and may contribute to blossom-end rot while constantly waterlogged soil suffocates roots and increases disease. Water in the morning without unnecessarily wetting foliage then mulch once soil warms. During fruit set and sizing avoid prolonged water stress. In a large container check moisture daily during hot weather without leaving standing water in the saucer.
Soil type
Choose deep fertile loose well-drained organic-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH near 6.0–6.8. Incorporate mature compost before transplanting while avoiding fresh manure and excess nitrogen that produces leaves at the expense of fruit. Work soil when neither sticky nor dusty and do not compact the root zone. Even moisture and adequate calcium reserves support healthy fruiting without automatic calcium additions unless testing supports them. Rotate three or four years away from tomatoes peppers eggplants and potatoes.
Fertilization
Incorporate mature compost before transplanting then base later feeding on a soil test or the label of a balanced fruiting-vegetable fertilizer. Avoid excess nitrogen which promotes very vigorous stems and leaves but delays flowering and ripening. After fruit set balanced nutrition including potassium and phosphorus may support fruiting without exceeding label rates. Never place concentrated fertilizer against roots and water after application. In containers split a dilute solution rather than using one strong dose. No calcium supplement replaces even watering or a test confirming deficiency.
Moisture
Consistent soil moisture without saturation; good air circulation around the foliage.
Seasonal care
In spring sow indoors six to eight weeks before last frost and provide intense light immediately after emergence. Pot up after true leaves then harden gradually. After frost transplant in full sun in the ground or a large deep container. Install a cage or stake to support loaded stems without assigning an unconfirmed growth type. In summer water deeply at soil level, check container moisture often, mulch, and feed moderately. Harvest pink fruit frequently. Before frost pick developed fruit, remove plants, and clean containers.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Choose a large stable deep container with several drainage holes; exact size is not confirmed in the workbook. Fill with airy vegetable potting mix enriched with compost. Install a cage or stake to support loaded stems without assuming an unconfirmed height or growth type. Place in full sun, water slowly when the surface begins to dry, and never leave the container in standing water. Mulch lightly, feed moderately, check moisture daily during hot weather, and harvest often.
Bloom and dimensions

Flower color
Yellow
Foliage color
Green
Foliage type
Compound, divided foliage with an aroma when bruised; grown as an annual in Quebec
Growth rate
Vigorous during the warm season
Bloom period
Small yellow flowers in successive clusters through the warm season
Fruiting
Numerous clusters of small pink fruit produced throughout summer
Days to maturity
65 to 75 days after transplanting
Harvest
Harvest 65–75 days after transplanting once small 2–3 cm fruit is uniformly pink and yields slightly to gentle pressure. Support the cluster with one hand and detach fruit without pulling stems. Pick frequently to enjoy production that continues throughout summer. Before frost bring developed fruit indoors to finish ripening. Do not eat leaves or stems and discard deeply split mouldy slimy or abnormal-smelling fruit.
Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
Basil and early lettuce can occupy nearby space when light, water, air circulation, and root room remain sufficient.
Plants to avoid
Avoid waterlogged soil, overhead watering, crowding, and repeated rotations with tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, or potatoes.

Edible parts
Ripe fruit
Pink Million cherry tomato salad — Rinse sound fruit and halve. Combine with cucumber and basil, add a drizzle of olive oil, and season immediately before serving.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions,answered.
When should Pink Million be sown and transplanted in Quebec?
Sow indoors March through April approximately six to eight weeks before planned transplanting. Place seed 0.5 cm deep, maintain 21–27°C, and keep mix moist; emergence generally takes 7–14 days. Provide intense light, pot seedlings up, and harden gradually. Transplant only after last frost once soil is warm and nights are sufficiently mild.
When should Pink Million tomatoes be harvested?
Generally harvest around 75 to 85 days after transplanting once fruit has developed pink colour and yields slightly to gentle pressure. A green area may remain at the shoulders and colour varies with sunlight. Support each fruit and cut the stem with a clean tool. Pick progressively, bring developed fruit indoors before frost, and discard mouldy slimy or deeply split fruit.
Can Pink Million be grown in a container?
Yes. The workbook indicates culture in a large deep container without confirming exact dimensions. Use a stable pot with several drainage holes and airy compost-enriched mix. Place in full sun, install a cage or stake for loaded stems, check moisture daily during hot weather, water until it drains without standing water, and feed moderately according to label directions.
Wildlife and pets

Supporting wildlife
Yellow blossoms may be visited by bumblebees and other bees able to vibrate the anthers and release pollen. Wind also contributes substantially to pollination, although active insect visitors can support consistent fruit set in the vegetable garden throughout the flowering period.
