‘Vilmorin Peche’ Tomato, organic seeds (Solanum lycopersicum) This French heirloom from the 1800s produces small, round tomatoes approximately 2 inches across with slightly fuzzy, peach-coloured skin. Gaia describes fruity, juicy flesh and large seed pockets. The M-size fruit ripens in midseason on an indeterminate plant. Its gentle colour and unusual texture add attractive contrast to salads, heirloom tomato platters, and fresh tastings. A sturdy cage keeps clusters accessible as the vines continue growing through the season. The soft peach shade is especially attractive beside red and purple tomatoes. It remains visually distinctive.

Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting, approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep. Gaia lists germination in 5 to 10 days from 10 to 35°C, with an optimum of 23 to 29°C. Provide bright light immediately after emergence. During hardening off, gradually reduce watering and nitrogen without allowing plants to wilt. Transplant after frost risk has passed into warm, fertile, well-drained soil with 24 to 36 inches of spacing. Install the cage or stake at planting and water deeply at soil level. Keep foliage dry whenever practical and inspect ties as vines lengthen.

Maturity is listed from 70 to 85 days. Plants reach approximately 4 to 6 feet high with a 2-to-3-foot spread. Harvest after the peach skin has expressed its full colour for the fruity, juicy flavour. Fruit that has begun colouring can finish ripening off the vine above 21°C. The packet contains approximately 25 organic seeds, lot GOGOG767, with reported germination above 85%. The open-pollinated seeds are certified organic by Ecocert Canada. Arrange harvested fruit in one layer to limit bruising and preserve the fuzzy skin. Keep the lot label nearby.
