‘White Beauty’ Tomato, ecologically grown seeds (Solanum lycopersicum) This open-pollinated heirloom variety dating to the 1920s produces large, heavy, extra-smooth, creamy-white XL fruit weighing approximately 150 to 200 g. Gaia describes a mild and very sweet flavour balanced by acidity and a citrus note. The fruit can make an interesting white sauce. Plants are indeterminate, prolific in mid-season, and perform well in hot climates. They accept full sun to partial shade, although full sun generally supports a heavier harvest. The packet is not identified as certified organic; Gaia labels these seeds as ecologically grown and provides lot information for traceability.

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. During hardening off, reduce watering and nitrogen gradually 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 a large cage or sturdy stake at planting. Provide bright light immediately after emergence and rotate containers regularly for balanced growth.

Gaia lists 75 to 85 days to maturity and a spread of 24 to 36 inches. Height varies in the source: the tables list 4 to 6 feet, while the back label lists 3 to 5 feet. Harvest after creamy-white fruit is fully ripe and has expressed its complete colour. Fruit that has begun changing colour can finish ripening off the vine above 21°C. The packet contains approximately 25 ecologically grown seeds, lot GO-0000711, with reported germination above 85%. Store whole fruit from 12 to 21°C as listed by Gaia and inspect it regularly.
