Tomato, Dwarf Lemon Ice (Organic)
Solanum lycopersicum. Yellow. 65 days. Dwarf Indet.
Very aptly named, Dwarf Lemon Ice has clear skin and yellow flesh that combine for an icy yellow color. Pleasantly balanced sweet / tart flavor. Meaty, 3-7 oz oxheart shaped fruit have a blunt point at the blossom end. Occasional green shoulders. A unique and fun variety that is also good for containers. We like eating these ones right off the plant. Dwarf Lemon Ice was released in 2016 by the Dwarf Tomato Project and is an Open Source Seed Initiative pledged variety.
Sow indoors in flats with good potting soil as early as February, but no later than April. Keep warm and well-watered. Up pot seedlings into 4” pots once they have two true leaves. Transplant into the garden once danger of frost has passed.
Seed Saving
Collect seeds from ripe fruit by squeezing into a jar and add 25% more water. Wait a few days for mold to form. When seeds sink and gel-sac is gone, stir, add water, then decant and rinse to clean. Dry thoroughly. Tomatoes are mostly self-pollinating; isolation is not usually needed for seeds to be true to type.
