Organic Tomato, White Cherry (1 oz)

Cherry Tomato - White Cherry - Lycopersicon esculentum

Tender Annual Indeterminate. These creamy white to pale yellow cherry tomatoes have a mild flavor. Early fruiting and unusual color make them a standout for summer meals. Perfect to grow in containers on their own or planted with other colors of cherry tomatoes. Small scale plants are loaded with fruit, making picking easy. Tomatoes are about 1 oz. each, 1 1/4" diameter.

Soil and Water: Tomatoes love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost prior to planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5-7.0. Mulch to preserve moisture. Avoid wetting the foliage when watering.

Planting and Growing: Sow seeds in flats 6-8 weeks before the last frost and thin to 2" apart after the first true leaves appear. Before transplanting after the last frost, harden off the plants by placing them outdoors for a few hours to start, increasing the amount of time each day until they are accustomed to a full day of sunlight.

Harvesting and Storage: Harvest when fruits give slightly under finger pressure; the shoulders may not have changed color yet.
