Planting Tips:
Start Brandywine Pink Tomato seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last expected spring frost. Maintain warm soil temperatures of approximately 70–85°F for good germination and provide seedlings with plenty of light after they emerge.

Transplant seedlings outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures remain consistently warm. Plant seedlings deeply, burying a portion of the stem to encourage additional root development.

Provide sturdy cages, stakes, or other support for the vigorous indeterminate plants and their large, heavy tomatoes. Grow in fertile, well-drained soil and water consistently throughout the growing season. Mulching around the plants can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvest Brandywine Pink Tomatoes when the fruits develop their characteristic rosy-pink color and yield slightly to gentle pressure.
