Description
The listing, Pink Grapefruit Tomato (Heirloom) has ended.
Package of 15 seeds.
A really unique tomato of medium size. Beautiful yellow fruit are blushing pink inside (hence their name). They have sweet-tart taste that does have citrus overtones. A productive, round tomato that is a winner.
Just wanted to remind everybody, whether you've won seeds from me or not, that you can feel free to shoot me gardening questions if you have them. I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I've been in the garden since before I could walk (so I know my way around). Good luck and God bless.

Basic Insecticide:
Nicotine solution: This is gross, I know. But Nicotine is found in many plants (tomatoes, potatoes, others) as a natural insecticide. Find a cigarette store around you or online that sells tobacco by the bag, 1/2 pound or more. cheapest is best. Form a piece of paper in to a funnel and put about 4 cups worth in to an empty gallon jug. Then put about 1/4 cup of alcohol (vodka, rubbing, doesn't matter) and fill the rest with warm tap water. Seal it and leave in a dark place for 14 days, shaking it up once a day. On the fifteenth day unseal it and leave it open for two days (this is to let the alcohol evaporate). Cap it back up and it should store well for 3 or 4 years in a dark, cool area.
Insecticide: In a 20-24oz spray bottle, pour a 1/2 cup of nicotine solution, 2 tablespoons (approx.) of hand or dish soap, and the rest with water. If using tap water leave open for 24 hours to let the chlorine evaporate out. Mist all the areas on the infested plant. Soap makes it stick, nicotine kills the bugsies, plant stays unharmed! Fruit and veg will rinse clean.
