I’ve heard about this variety for a long time, but planted it for the first time, unfortunately only outdoors. The taste is good, delicately balanced, better than any exotic varieties. The yield outdoors is poor, I will try it in the greenhouse next time. Seeds from Liska, Tanyushka, thank you.

Yes, Pink Honey showed itself in full glory in my greenhouse compared to the open ground. And this year it turned out to be one of the few varieties that set large fruits on all trusses despite the June cold and the abnormal heat in July.
And the taste — like honey. It proved to be a very good variety even in this difficult year.

Thank you very much, Sergey. You’ve convinced me even more to grow it again.
By the way, did you happen to grow Kazakhstanskiy Domashniy (Kazakh Homemade)? Mine turned out extremely tasty, although it was also low-yielding, I only grew it outdoors. I really regret not duplicating it in the greenhouse.
In 2020, I planted 3 bushes of Pink Honey. Growing outdoors without any cover. The bushes are healthy.
Now (at the end of August) the fruits on the bush have grown significantly and continue to swell (we planted the seedlings late), but so far the weather allows it. (Attached video of tasting + slice).

Based on the results of growing Pink Honey this current 2020 year, I can say that its yield is above average. The taste during the heatwave was bland-sweet, but as soon as it got a little cooler, it became incredibly sweet and tasty. Reached its full potential.
I also planted Pink Honey — I liked it. I will plant it again this season.
I sowed Pink Honey for the first time this year — I mixed up its spot with the variety Nemets (The German), they looked identical as seedlings.
However, later I noticed and re-labeled PINK HONEY. It is a stunning tomato — early fruit ripening — very beautiful tomatoes — I will definitely repeat it!
Could you please tell me what its seeds look like? The size… I read somewhere that they are unnaturally small for such a large-fruited tomato. But the ones I was sent are large. Maybe they are the wrong ones?

Elya, my Pink Honey was originally from SibSad. Now they have been my own saved seeds for a long time. They are of normal, quite large size. Definitely not small.
I love this variety.

Inna, thank you very much. I feel relieved. I will plant them calmly this season.

My seeds were from INVENT+, a Kazakh originator, and they are not small either. Normal size for tomatoes.

Most likely they are the right ones, though I didn’t look too closely, but I think they *are* smaller. Because I had seeds of different varieties from the same producer (“Seeds of Ukraine”) in the same packaging weight (I think 0.1 g).
From such a packet I usually got 20-25 seedlings, but from Pink Honey — a little over 40. At the planting stage, if other packets gave one row in the seed tray, Pink Honey gave two. The seeds in the packets of different varieties were packed the same year — I think the germination rate was approximately the same.
Pink Honey surprised me. For the first time in 10 years, we ate our own tomatoes at the very beginning of July, usually it’s a month later (Northern Saratov region, open ground outdoors). Yantarnoye Serdtse (Amber Heart) couldn’t keep up with it, even though it was always the first.
This year my Pink Honey grew like this. In the video I am tasting the greenhouse version, but later I tried a fruit from the open ground and it was much sweeter. And in general, it feels even better growing outdoors for me.
This year my Pink Honey outdoors. (Posted links to his review videos).
And here I’ll insert a photo.
