\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Our Own Pink<\/strong> is an American family heirloom featuring vigorous indeterminate<\/strong> vines with broad potato-leaf<\/strong> foliage. It yields large, thin-skinned pink beefsteaks mid-season. Grower trials show it shines far brighter when grown outdoors in full summer sun than inside a humid greenhouse, where its classic sweet-tart flavor can fall a bit flat during overcast seasons.

Indeterminate, mid-season salad variety with potato leaf foliage. The fruits are large, meaty pink beefsteaks with very good, well-balanced flavor and nice sweetness. Fuss-free, dependable producer.<\/p>\n

Grew it outdoors in open ground. Seeds came from T. Kouchnareva. Definitely giving this one another run.<\/p>\n

Grew this variety for a second season, but this time inside the greenhouse. It didn’t live up to the stellar flavor it showed back in 2015.<\/p>\n

Both sweetness and acidity were present, but the overall taste came out fairly plain and middle-of-the-road. Could be that this variety simply does much better out in the open garden. Benchmarking it for now.<\/p>\n

Elena, might have just been an off year for weather. Felt like a lot of varieties tasted washed out compared to previous seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Wonderful variety. Pink beefsteaks with tender, thin skins. Out in the open garden beds, it completely loaded up with fruit. Juicy, lots of seeds.<\/p>\n
