Brandywine Pink is an heirloom tomato variety originally developed by the Pennsylvania Amish in the late 1800s.
Indeterminate, potato leaf vines produce excellent yields of large, bright pink fruits that weigh an average of 16 ounces each. Flavor is rich, slightly sweet, and often considered the gold standard for what a tomato should taste like!

Start tomatoes indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost, sowing the seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed flat or cell tray. Use a heat mat to keep the soil temperature between 70-75°F and a humidity dome to ensure the soil stays moist between watering. Germination should occur within 6 to 8 days.
Transplant the seedlings into individual pots once they have grown their second set of leaves, and be sure to bury the stems up to the lower set of leaves to promote strong root growth.
When the outside soil temperature has reached a minimum of 70°F, plant the seedlings at least 2 feet apart in a location with full sun and very rich soil. Water frequently, and be sure to protect the plants if temperatures drop below 55°F.
