Features of growing and caring for pink tomatoes
Pink tomatoes are more demanding to care for than red ones, but in turn they are also more tasty. To grow them you need several subtleties in growing:
- They need more abundant watering and frequent feeding. The soil must be moist, as a lack of moisture leads to shrinkage of the fruits.
- In turn, an excess of moisture is undesirable for many varieties, due to the susceptibility of the fruit to cracking.
- The crust that forms on the soil after watering interferes with the saturation of the roots with oxygen, which impairs the development of the plant and future productivity. After each watering, the soil must be loosened, removing any weeds that have appeared.
- Plants need to be fed with complex mineral and organic fertilizers.
- Preventive spraying against diseases and pests allows you to completely protect plants and the future harvest.
- Due to the large-fruited nature of pink tomatoes, almost all varieties require tying and shaping.
- Pinching is a necessary condition for good fruiting. If you follow these simple care conditions, you can grow an excellent and healthy harvest.
All varieties of pink tomatoes, with good care, give an excellent harvest. Regardless of where they grow, tomatoes always delight with their excellent taste and bright color of the fruit.

Growing seedlings
First you need to decide on the timing of sowing the seeds. The indicator may vary depending on the predicted planting of seedlings in the ground. If a summer resident plans to plant seedlings in May, then you can start sowing seeds in early March.
Important! Do not rush to plant seeds. It is advisable to adhere to the established deadlines. Otherwise, the seedlings will stretch and weaken.
Before carrying out planting work, it is necessary to carry out a number of preparatory measures. This applies to the preparation of soil, containers, and seeds. Once everything is ready, you can proceed directly to sowing.
The depth of planting of seeds should not be more than 2 cm. The top of the crops should be sprinkled with earth, covered with film and put in a warm place. As soon as the first shoots appear, the film should be removed and the containers with seedlings should be transferred to a well-lit windowsill.
For seedlings to be strong, they need to be properly cared for. The main care measures are as follows:
- Watering. The soil must be moist. However, you should not overwater the seedlings. This can lead to rotting of the root system.
- Ventilation. Seedlings need to be ventilated regularly.
- Temperature. Tomatoes prefer to grow at temperatures around 20 degrees.
- Light. It is important to take care of good lighting. Plants need at least 12 hours of daylight. If necessary, you should use additional light sources.
- Picking. As soon as the first 3 leaves appear, picking is required.
- Hardening. Before planting plants in open ground, it is necessary to harden them. This procedure will allow the seedlings to get used to outdoor conditions.
Product description
There is so little information about the “Dish” tomato variety on the Internet that at first we took this name as a conditional one. Moreover, in shape it is not a dish/plate at all, but a heart.
Having studied the English-language Google results, we found out that there is a red (flat-round) and pink (heart-shaped) “dinner dish”. Both varieties are amateur selection and their origin is vague, which is a pity.
The pink dish is an incredibly beautiful, tasty and productive variety! We simply fell in love with him and there is nothing more to say. In winter we look at photos and lick our lips, because summer is still so far away
