‘Wonderlight’ Tomato, organic seeds (Solanum lycopersicum) Also known as Plum Lemon, this Russian heirloom tomato was collected from a Moscow seedsman in 1991. Bright yellow fruit is lemon-shaped with pointed ends. Its solid, paste-like flesh and mild, sweet flavour suit salads, sauces, and yellow ketchup in home gardens. Each medium fruit measures approximately 2 by 3 inches and weighs about 6 ounces. The packet contains approximately 25 open-pollinated organic seeds certified by Ecocert Canada, lot GO24048, with reported germination above 85%. This colourful variety brings a distinctive harvest to the garden.

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 21 to 32°C, with an optimum of 23 to 29°C. Provide bright light immediately after emergence. During hardening off, reduce watering and nitrogen gradually without allowing plants to wilt. Transplant after all frost risk has passed into warm, fertile, well-drained soil with 24 to 36 inches of spacing. Install a cage or stake at planting to support indeterminate growth. Water the mix evenly.

Gaia lists 75 to 85 days to maturity and a spread of 24 to 36 inches. Height varies within the source information: one table lists 4 to 6 feet, while the back label lists 4 to 5 feet. Water deeply at soil level and harvest after fruit becomes fully bright yellow. A tomato that has begun to lighten can finish ripening off the vine above 21°C. Ripe fruit is edible, but keep leaves, stems, and green tomatoes away from pets. Inspect fruit often and refrigerate cut portions promptly afterward.

How to use it

Uses in the garden

Grow Wonderlight in full sun in a warm, fertile, well-drained plot. Preserve 24 to 36 inches between plants so light and air can circulate. Place plants north of shorter crops so their possible 4-to-6-foot height does not shade them. Install a large cage or stake at transplanting, then water deeply at soil level and mulch after the soil warms. Indeterminate growth continues until frost while conditions remain suitable. Label the support Wonderlight and lot GO24048. Wonderlight is a Russian heirloom tomato also known as Plum Lemon, collected from a Moscow seedsman in 1991.

Gaia identifies this garden crop as annual, heirloom, open-pollinated, and indeterminate. Because the quantity is approximate, a small variation may occur.

Keep the packet with seedlings so the cultivar and lot remain correctly identified. Wonderlight is a Russian heirloom tomato also known as Plum Lemon, collected from a Moscow seedsman in 1991.
02 How should Wonderlight tomato seeds be started?
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting, approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep in clean, moist seed-starting mix. Gaia lists germination in 5 to 10 days from 21 to 32°C, with an optimum of 23 to 29°C. Keep the mix moist without standing water and provide bright light immediately after emergence. During hardening off, reduce watering and nitrogen gradually without allowing plants to wilt. Transplant only after frost risk has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants 24 to 36 inches apart and install support immediately. Wonderlight is a Russian heirloom tomato also known as Plum Lemon, collected from a Moscow seedsman in 1991.
03 How long does Wonderlight germination take?
Gaia lists germination in 5 to 10 days from 21 to 32°C, with an optimum of 23 to 29°C. Lot GO24048 reports a rate above 85%, without guaranteeing every seed under all conditions. Use clean, light seed-starting mix, maintain consistent moisture without saturation, and provide bright light immediately after emergence. If some seeds take longer, keep the tray under suitable conditions for the full listed period. Label the container Wonderlight clearly so this yellow, lemon-shaped tomato remains separate from other varieties during indoor growing. Wonderlight is a Russian heirloom tomato also known as Plum Lemon, collected from a Moscow seedsman in 1991.
04 How much space and support does Wonderlight need?
Allow 24 to 36 inches between plants. Wonderlight is indeterminate, so stems continue extending, flowering, and carrying fruit until frost while conditions remain suitable. Install a large cage or sturdy stake at transplanting. Gaia lists a height of 4 to 6 feet in one table and 4 to 5 feet on the back label. Place the plant in full sun, preferably north of shorter crops. Tie stems with soft material and harvest regularly to reduce the load on the support. Wonderlight is a Russian heirloom tomato also known as Plum Lemon, collected from a Moscow seedsman in 1991. Its bright yellow fruit is lemon-shaped with pointed ends and has solid, paste-like flesh.
05 When should Wonderlight tomatoes be harvested?
Harvest after lemon-shaped fruit becomes fully bright yellow. Gaia lists 75 to 85 days to maturity. A green tomato whose colour has begun to lighten can finish ripening off the vine above 21°C. Arrange fruit in one layer, inspect it often, and pick fruit that has begun changing colour before the first frost. Use ripe tomatoes promptly in salads, sauce, or yellow ketchup. Store whole fruit from 12 to 21°C as listed by Gaia and refrigerate cut portions in a covered container.
