Artisan Pink - Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Story: This is a really striking tomato. It is a pointed plum-shaped pink tomato striped with orange and red. We saved seed from just two plants in 2023 and would love to multiply the seed for the SSN in 2025. It was also scored pretty high on the tatse test by our garden and volunteer team.
Seed available to seed guardians:
20 packets of 10 seeds available
When to sow: From late February indoors to early April if you will be growing the plants outdoors.
Requirements: Nutrient-rich soil, regular watering, and a lot of sun.
Harvesting: In southern England, typically July/later summer.
Saving Seed From Tomatoes: Allow the tomatoes to fully ripen on the plant then cut them open and squish the seeds out. Seeds need to be fermented to remove the sticky gel that surround them see our video on seed saving from tomatoes for the technique.
How to send seed back: Please label all seed with variety, type, date and your contact, if you didn't get a chance to fill out our online data collection form, you can also send us a few lines about how it grew for you/flavour etc. Please aim to send back 1 tablespoon of dried seed or more so that we can continue to share with network members. Send to: Omved Gardens, 1 Townsend Yard, N6 5JF.
