Pinky Blast Update
Pinky Blast is new to most of us. I didn't find pictures online. I got my seeds from Tormato's MMMM. Here are a couple pictures, and yes, they have nipples/points/or whatever it's called .

Cute! Looking good they are. Are they a cherry tomato? What color they supposed to be when they ripe.

Starlight, I haven't got any information on these other than what I can see as it grows. I am guessing they are a pink cherry sized tomato growing on a tiny plant. The leaves are about the size of a 5 year-old child's fingertip. The larger leaves in the first picture are Red Ambrosia on the right and Yellow Riesentraube on the left.

Pinky Blast - "Ind, RL, super productive pink saladettes w/good flavor"
(as written by the donor to the MMMM swap) Saladette may, at times, be considered as a very large cherry. |

This is right after a 2.5 inch rain. I was careful not to disturb any plants. I needed to go outside to walk around.
I planted three Pinky Blast plants. One in our organically enriched established garden, one in the new garden with no amendments so far, and one in a raised bed in soil that has had organic and man-made products added. All three plants are healthy with smaller regular leaves. The one in the established more organic garden is doing the best by far. Taller plant, more leaves and branches, and bigger/more tomatoes than the two in the other garden/bed. I have also noticed the plant size is smaller and might be an excellent plant for limited growing areas. Today, I noticed they are growing heart shaped |
