Description of the Pink Girl tomato, brief characteristics of the fruit

The Pink Girl tomato is a Dutch selection. Its popularity stems from its superior tomato qualities and its adaptability to climates around the world.

Advantages of a hybrid

The Pink Girl f1 tomato description details the plant's characteristics. This hybrid is a tall-growing variety, so it requires support during the growing season.

The bushes are covered with light green foliage and simple inflorescences. The description of the Pink Girl tomato variety indicates the following fruit characteristics:

• the shape of the tomatoes is flat-round with ribbing;
• the color of tomatoes at the ripening stage is light green, ripe tomatoes acquire a crimson color;
• when cut horizontally, 6 chambers with seeds are observed;
• weight of 1 fruit 200 g;
• harvesting takes place at the end of July, beginning of August;
• The dense skin of tomatoes prevents cracking during ripening;
• The fruits retain their taste for a long time and tolerate transportation well.

Tomato yield depends on growing conditions. Under proper cultivation conditions, 12 kg of tomatoes can be harvested per square meter. In cooking, tomatoes are used fresh, canned, and used to make sauces and pastes.

Cultivation techniques

The cultivation technology used guarantees a high yield. An effective cultivation method has been developed for this Dutch-bred hybrid, which differs from traditional farming techniques.

A soil mixture is used to grow the seedlings. Sixty days before planting, the seeds are placed in prepared containers at a depth of 1-2 cm. The soil is watered with warm water using a spray bottle and covered with plastic wrap until the seedlings emerge.

The hybrid seeds are treated with Thiram, so they do not require pre-soaking in a potassium permanganate solution before planting in the soil.

To regulate cultivation conditions that fully provide the plant with nutrients, hydroponics is created using mineral wool.

Each plant is allocated a separate container. In greenhouse conditions, carbon dioxide levels are artificially increased, accelerating photosynthesis. Increased yields are achieved through natural pollination of vegetable crops by wasps and bumblebees.

The introduction of new cultivation technology increases crop productivity. A crucial stage of cultivation is greenhouse preparation. Before planting, the room is heated to 25°C. Tomatoes are transplanted directly into the soil 10 days after germination.

Maintain a distance of 60 cm between seedlings and 90 cm between rows. Plants are spaced at a rate of 2-3 bushes per 1 m². The first flower cluster appears at the 10th leaf level.

If the technology is followed, the tomato stem will be of medium thickness and with a short peduncle. The room must be constantly ventilated, and it is also necessary to maintain air humidity at 65-70%.

Caring for tomatoes planted in a greenhouse includes timely detection and mechanical removal of damaged leaves, pruning of flower stalks to form 5-6 productive inflorescences.

During the growing season, the bushes are fed with a growth stimulant and watered with warm water using a drip irrigation system. Tomatoes are harvested at the stage of technical ripeness, when the fruits turn brown.

Tomatoes are placed in boxes lined with polystyrene foam. The green fruits remaining on the bushes after harvesting ripen faster.

Opinions and recommendations from gardeners

Reviews from vegetable growers point to the hybrid's positive characteristics and the versatility of its raspberry-colored fruits.

Irina Evdokimova, 51 years old, Stavropol:

"I heard positive reviews about the Pink Girl hybrid from friends and decided to grow it in a greenhouse. I ordered seeds by mail. I grew seedlings in containers with a prepared soil mixture. I transplanted the seedlings into the greenhouse for their permanent planting location. The tall plant requires staking, and numerous flower stalks had to be removed to ensure a good harvest of large fruits. The tomatoes are a very pleasant raspberry color with an excellent tomato flavor. The main advantage of this hybrid is the versatility of its fruits."

Anatoly Efimov, 49 years old, Voronezh:

"The Pink Girl hybrid caught my attention due to its fruit shape, crimson color, and long-lasting storage. I grew it from seedlings. I transplanted the mature seedlings, previously pricked out into peat pots, into the greenhouse. Care included timely watering, soil loosening, and fertilizing. The tomato yield was 10 kg per square meter. The tomatoes are excellent for canning and fresh storage."
