Organic pink 'Trucker's Favorite' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an open-pollinated organic heirloom introduced in the United States during the late nineteenth century. Vigorous productive indeterminate plants bear clusters of three or four pink to rosy-red fruit, round to slightly oblate and generally weighing 170 to 340 g. Firm, meaty, juicy flesh has rich, very sweet, old-fashioned tomato flavour. Uniform fruit is especially valued for slices, sandwiches, salads, burgers, platters, and fresh sauces. Its historical character and generous format make it a distinctive choice for gardeners who appreciate traditional slicing tomatoes.

Sow Trucker's Favorite indoors six to eight weeks before the last frost, approximately 0.5 cm deep in warm evenly moist seed-starting mix. Provide strong light immediately after emergence, pot seedlings up after true leaves appear, and harden them gradually. Once frost risk has passed, transplant in full sun into fertile organic-rich well-drained soil. Indeterminate growth requires a tall cage, trellis, or sturdy stakes installed at planting. Allow enough room for airflow and support loaded clusters to keep fruit above the soil. Secure lengthening stems with soft ties without constricting them as the plant continues growing.

Water slowly and deeply at soil level when the surface begins to dry, then mulch after the soil warms to stabilize moisture. Feed moderately according to label directions without excess nitrogen, and tie stems as they grow. Maturity generally occurs around 75 days after transplanting. Pick when fruit is evenly pink to rosy red, shoulders are no longer green, and flesh yields slightly to gentle pressure. Use clean pruners if the stem resists, place tomatoes in a single layer, and discard any fruit that is mouldy, slimy, deeply split, or abnormal-smelling. Before frost, bring sound developed fruit indoors and handle it gently.
