Heirloom Tomato «Strawberry Tiger»
These do look like fat strawberries, being more saladette than cherry-sized, tapered at the end with broader shoulders. The color is pink, with a clear epidermis verification, and there are beautiful gold stripes that sparkle in the sun!
This variety does best with less watering during ripening, as the flavors in my crop demonstrated. The flesh is very meaty, and the flavor is balanced acid and sugar.

Planting Tips for Heirloom Tomatoes
Most gardeners want to get the most out of these delicious heirloom tomatoes and therefore give them a head start on the growing season. Start these vegetable seeds indoors in sterile potting mix being sure to keep the temperature above 70 degrees. Some people prefer to use a grow pad but the top of the fridge has been known to be quite effective as well.
Once the first true leaves appear on your tomato seedlings, transplant into 4" pots until you have completely hardened them off in the garden. Hardening is a process of exposing the plants more and more to outside temperature until they are hardy enough to tollerat a complete outdoor move. Generally speaking, by early summer heirloom tomatoes should be transplated into the garden.
Most heirloom varieties are quite productive and will greatly benefit from sturdy supports. It may also be advisable to add blood and bone to the worked soil to help ensure healthy productive heirloom tomatoes.
Seed Care tips for Heirloom Tomato Seeds
Heirloom seeds are hardy but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - not letting the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely or overwatering and possibly having them rot.
