Description
If you're looking for a fresh twist in your garden, the "Pink Egg" Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) might just be your basket's best friend. This darling cultivar showcases pinkish, egg-shaped fruits that truly stand out in salads and dishes. Tantalise your taste buds with its smooth texture and a balance of sweet and tangy flavours, making it a cracking choice for any tomato enthusiast.
To ensure your "Pink Egg" doesn't get scrambled in the growth process, opt for a premium quality potting mix if going the container route or a high-grade soil conditioner for garden bed plantings. Nourish them with a tomato-specific fertiliser around Djilba (early spring) and be prepared to reap the rewards in roughly 70-80 days post-planting. These tomatoes aren't too tall in tales, but a bit of staking can help them stay upright, especially when they're laden with those pink gems. During Bunuru (late summer), keep the water coming, ensuring they're hydrated and happy. With a little love, you'll have a pink parade right in your patch!
