Organic Tomato, White Wonder

Tomato – White Wonder – Lycopersicon esculentum

Tender Annual Indeterminate. Heirloom. This ivory-white beefsteak is an easy one to grow, and it produces medium-size fruits with super-sweet flavor and low acid. A delicious, knockout addition to your sliced tomato platters and sandwiches. Good canner too. Surprise your friends with white cream of tomato soup, or white tomato sauce on spinach pasta.

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.
