Tomato, Pink Berkeley Tie-Dye

Spoiler alert, this is Jess' absolute favorite tomato to grow!  Fruits are 8-12 oz and dark pink with metallic green striping.  Flavor is amazing!!  Fruity and rich, with a meaty texture.  Considered relatively early for such a large, flavorful tomato.  This variety was bred by Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms.  

Pink Berkley Tie Dye has been one of our most consistent and vigorous growers, starting from the day those little sprouts pop up in the soil.  Pink Berkley responds really well to staking, which is highly recommended for indeterminate varieties.  Our favorite methods are single staking and the Florida Weave (aka Basket Weave).  

Tomatoes love full sun and well-draining, fertile soil.  Add some worm castings or compost to the planting hole to help reduce transplant shock - we like to plant our tomatoes deeply, like all the way to the first set of bottom leaves.  Doing so encourages more roots to grow along the stem, giving you a stronger root system.    
Mulch at the base of plants to help retain soil moisture throughout the growing season.  Container friendly!
