80 days. Indeterminate. Open-pollinated.
June Pink is an heirloom tomato variety first introduced by Johnson & Stokes in 1906.
Compact, vigorous vines produce clusters of large, smooth-skinned fruits that are oblate in shape (like a slightly flattened globe), bright pink in color, and weigh an average of 13 ounces each.
Flavor is wonderfully sweet and tart.
Crack resistant and good resistance to blight. Fruits will set even in cooler climates, and in warmer regions the vines are quite prolific and become laden with fruit. Be sure to stake them well!

Hardiness Zones: 3 to 11 Light Requirement: Full Sun Soil Type: Fertile, well-drained Sow Depth: 1/4 inch Plant Spacing: 36 inches Germination Temp: 65°F to 85°F Germination Time: 6 to 8 days Maturation: 80 days Growing Tips
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.
