Tomato, Pink Bumble Bee (Organic)
Solanum lycopersicum. Pink Striped Cherry. 70 days. Indet.
This 2012 release from Artisan Seeds in California is a great addition to the cherry tomato patch. Pink with yellow and orange stripes. Large fruit (for a cherry) are very eye-catching and fill pints quickly. Firm, round fruit are crack resistant and hold well off the plant. Flavor is a good tangy/tart.

Sow indoors in flats with good potting soil as early as February, but no later than April. Keep warm and well-watered. Up pot seedlings into 4” pots once they have two true leaves. Transplant into the garden once danger of frost has passed.
Seed Saving
Collect seeds from ripe fruit by squeezing into a jar and add 25% more water. Wait a few days for mold to form. When seeds sink and gel-sac is gone, stir, add water, then decant and rinse to clean. Dry thoroughly. Tomatoes are mostly self-pollinating; isolation is not usually needed for seeds to be true to type.
