Tomato 'Mamie Brown's Pink'

Keep in mind when planting that Mamie Brown's Pink is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside.

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Mamie Brown's Pink is a tender plant.

Named from Mamie Brown, who grew the tomatoes from at least the 1930’s.

Was donated to SSE in 1995 by Alicia Brown-Matthas, Mamie Brown’s granddaughter. Brown-Matthas remembers seeing the variety grown as early as the 1930’s in her grandmother’s garden in West Virginia, USA. ¹
