Tomato, Grüne von Helarios (Organic)
Solanum lycopersicum. Green. 75-80 days. Indet.
Good yield of 4-6 oz, green-yellow, flat ruffled fruit with sweet aromatic flavor. There is a pinkish form and possibly other strains, this one is truly green. From Arche Noah, the Austrian seed saving organization, via the now infamous (at least when you read our catalog) tomato seed steward, Gerhard Bohl in Germany.
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.
