Tomato Pink Ping Pong Vegetable Seeds

TOMATO ‘Pink Ping Pong’ Vegetable Seeds

Botanical Name: Solanum lycopersicum

Quirky cherry tomato variety producing round, pink fruits about the size of a ping-pong ball.
Sweet, juicy flavour with a mild acidity – perfect for snacking, lunchboxes, salads and colourful platters.
Heavy trusses of fruit on tall, indeterminate vines that crop over a long season.
Ideal for garden beds, tunnels and larger containers with a strong stake or trellis for support.
Open-pollinated variety – you can save seed from your best-performing plants.
Well suited to warm, sunny Australian gardens with regular watering and feeding.

Sow When (Australia):
- Cool: Start indoors August – October
- Temperate: August – November
- Subtropical: August – December
- Tropical: April – July (cooler, drier months)
- Arid: August – November, avoiding extreme heat
Germination Temperature: 18 – 28 °C
Germination Time: 7 – 14 days
Sowing Depth: 5 – 10 mm
Sow Where: Raise seedlings in trays or small pots and transplant when soil has warmed and risk of frost has passed.
Spacing: 45 – 60 cm between plants; 75 – 90 cm between rows
Position: Full sun (6–8+ hours of direct sun per day)
Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost or aged manure; pH 6.0 – 7.0

Harden off seedlings for 7–10 days before transplanting by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions.
Plant seedlings slightly deeper than they were in the punnet to encourage a stronger root system.
Install stakes, cages or a trellis soon after planting – indeterminate vines quickly become heavy with fruit.
Mulch with straw, sugarcane or similar to conserve moisture, protect soil life and reduce weed growth.
Water deeply and consistently at the base of plants rather than overhead to help prevent fungal diseases.
Feed regularly with a balanced organic fertiliser or liquid seaweed; reduce high-nitrogen feeds once flowering starts.
Remove lower leaves touching the soil and improve airflow to reduce issues such as blight and mildew.

Harvest when fruits have developed full pink colour and feel slightly soft to gentle pressure.
Pick regularly to encourage continuous flowering and heavy trusses of new fruit.
For best flavour, harvest in the cool of the morning and avoid refrigerating unless absolutely necessary.
