Notes
Tag reads: "Heirloom tomato Pineapple. Space 18-24'' apart in rows 36-48'' apart. Full sun. 85-90 days. An heirloom garden favorite that grows fruits up to 2 pounds! These bicolor yellow and pink fruits have a beautiful red starburst in the center. The flavor is tropically sweet, fruity and complex. This one is a show stopper! A fantastic heirloom. 85 Days Indeterminate Bragger Size. Vintage Veggies."
Planted in a single Earthbox on a south-facing balcony.
Update early June: Tomato-eating time! There are 25+ red or orange tomatoes on the plants.
Mid June: Om nom nom!
Sadly, I was traveling through the second half of endless tomatoes. The plant was taken down on/around July 4.
