Description of tomato variety Pink fleshy
Beef tomatoes are becoming more and more popular among gardeners. A striking representative of this species is the Pink Fleshy tomato. The fruits of this variety are distinguished by a thin skin with a pale pink color and dense pulp with a rich taste. Beef tomatoes are distinguished by their size and weight, the weight of each fruit is at least 150 grams. These are not only large, but also fleshy tomatoes.
Description of the variety
The variety "Pink Fleshy" is distinguished by early maturity, it begins to bear fruit after 90-110 days from the moment of germination. The growth of the bush is limited by an underdeveloped root system and does not exceed 55 cm. Such bushes do not stretch, due to which they have a strong stem that does not break under the weight of the fruit.
A poorly developed root system allows you to plant bushes denser, reducing the distance between them. And unpretentiousness to growing conditions and high survival rate make it possible to grow them directly in the open field. This tomato variety takes root perfectly even in regions with risky climatic conditions. The peculiarities of the variety characterize it as a vegetable crop with high endurance. That is why, "Rosy Meaty" is especially popular with inexperienced gardeners.
Fruit characteristics
- Tomatoes are flat-rounded in shape.
- Large fruits can gain weight up to 350 grams.
- Inside, the fruits are divided into four segments.
- The juicy pulp contains a high percentage of beta-carotene, solids and sugars, which provides a rich and sweet taste.
Fleshy Pink tomatoes are widely used in cooking. They are added to salads, soups, side dishes and meat dishes. They are also suitable for home preservation. But due to their large size, they are inconvenient for pickling and pickling.
How to grow
- Sowing should be done from March to mid-April. After the first true leaves appear, the sprouts should be dived.
- For normal growth, seedlings need adequate lighting. Therefore, for seedlings, you should choose the most lighted windowsill. For the first time, you can organize around the clock lighting using mirrors, foil or fluorescent lamps.
- Water the tomatoes carefully, under the stem, otherwise you can harm the young shoots. It is convenient to use a syringe for watering, one watering per day will be enough.
- So that the transplant does not become a shock for young plants, 7-10 days before planting, you should begin to take out the seedlings in the fresh air. This hardening will make the sprouts more resistant to the vagaries of nature.
- If the sprouts are strong, then the first feeding should be carried out no earlier than a week after the pick. And then every two weeks. If you feed too much, then abundant greens can grow, and the bushes will not bear fruit.
Fleshy Pink tomatoes do well in the open field, but in regions with colder climates, a greenhouse will still be the preferred growing place. Tomato planting time also depends on climatic conditions and can vary from mid-May to mid-June. It should be remembered that if the seedlings are overexposed and planted later, this can reduce the yield.
Caring for tomatoes after planting
When planting, the distance between the shoots can be reduced to 30-40 cm. It is better to choose the evening time or a cloudy, but calm day. "Pink fleshy" does not require pinching. His stepchildren appear much later and can even bring additional crops. This variety does not require special care. It is enough to provide plants with moderate watering, regularly loosen and huddle.
