Tomato “Pink Vernissage” seeds

Description

Due to Import restrictions, we can only ship to Canadian and US customers

The term “vernissage” is when artwork is debuted for the first time.  This tomato is no exception as it is a piece of art with is brilliant red-pink back ground and marked with multihued orange and gold striping.  Not quite a cherry and not quite a saladette, fruits weigh in around 2 ounces.  Firm flesh makes it perfect for salads, roasted, grilled on a kabob and much more.  Great producer of mild tasting fruits.  I’m tempted to pickle a jar or two as I don’t think the skins will split in the process.

How to germinate Pink Vernissage tomato seeds:

Sow 5 mm deep. Keep moist; plastic cover improves success. Opt. germination temp: 18-25 C. Days to germ: 5-10. All tomatoes drop their blooms when temperatures reach 85 F or greater, so make sure your tomatoes don’t get over heated. Blossom end rot is a nutritional disorder where a lack of calcium causes the fruit to rot from the blossom end so be sure you use something like rock phosphate (22% calcium) when amending your tomato beds/growing medium. Use mulch to retain moisture or prevent water from splashing up on your plants as tomatoes hate having their foliage wet…NEVER WATER FROM ABOVE…its like someone splashing a cold bucket of water on you!
