Your Favorite Pink Tomato?

[AlittleSalt]

I was looking at my list of seeds to get started. I realized that I have no Pink beefsteak/slicers on my list. There are plenty of smaller pink tomatoes and pink cherries on my list. Pink tomatoes are favorites of ours.

I'm looking for your input on your favorite Pink slicers/Beefsteaks. Preferably 65-85 DTM due to our hot summers here. I'm not asking for seeds.

Rebel Yell for me. Super productive in my garden and taste is outstanding.

Rebel Yell is now on my list. How could I have forgotten that one? They grew well in our garden in 2016. I saved seeds but let the container dry out... I still have seeds from 2014 though.

When I hear all of these names and varieties, I realize how little I know about tomatoes.
Please keep informing poor schmucks like myself in some interesting and productive varieties. Eventually I will have a whole list of my favorite tomatoes and I will make sure I save the seeds and properly label the containers.

Hello from Vancouver, BC! I'm new to Tomatoville. Where does one get Rebel Yell seeds? I get my tomato seeds from either Tomato Growers and / or Tomatofest. Haven't come across this variety before. Thanks!!

I have no idea, "By The Way, Which Ones Pink?"

Once a tomato is ripe and it is sliced , there is no difference, IMO.
In tomato jargon PINK has clear skin so that you see the true color under it. RED on the other hand has yellow skin so you see it red (darker).
Another point is that, if you look at the color spectrum/wheel there is no PINK color. Pink is simply a light red. If you take some red acrylic paint and add some white to it, you will get pink. You can complicate it if you add a tiny bit of blue. Now you are getting into PURPLE territory.

Rose for me - it's luscious!

I second Rose. It was my favorite Pink last year (first year I grew it). It was very productive, few seeds-very meaty and taste wonderful. My 73 year old mother said it is the best tomato she has ever had.

I believe I have a few seeds to spare if you want to try, just PM me Salt

Robert,

I am probably a little biased when I say that my favorite is "Anna Margaret's Heart" which was named after my aunt who passed 5 years ago. She originally lived in southeastern Missouri and brought back seeds when her and my uncle moved back to Colorado. In her small garden this was the only tomato she would grow and it does well in the heat of southeastern Colorado. Tania has plans to include it on her grow out list this year and I hope it does well as it is a special tomato to me. The pictures look a little red on Tania's site but I can definitely state that they are pink. Good luck this year in your garden.

George, the grafting clips you mailed to me will be used to graft VFFFN rootstock to Anna Margaret's Heart. It's that good.

I still have seeds sent by you, and I will be growing it in my new containers this year. I grew two plants the last year of our in-ground garden. They produced well and the large heart tomatoes grew in clusters like cherry tomatoes do. It's my favorite heart tomato by far.
