Tomato, Lime Green Salad (Organic)
Solanum lycopersicum. Green. 60-70 days. Det. Dwarf.
Fascinating little dwarf tomato plants are covered in 2-4 oz saladette fruit that are green-yellow when ripe. Excellent, pleasantly tart flavor is perfect for fresh salad or salsa. Lime Green Salad is a great variety for container culture. Developed by Tom Wagner in Washington. According to Tatiana Kouchnareva of Tatiana’s TOMATObase: “Introduced by Tim Peters in the 1980s. Tom named it Green Elf. Tim Peters, who received seed from Tom Wagner and listed it in his Peters’ Seed Research (PSR) back in the 1980s, hadn’t realized that Tom already had a name for it.” Given to The Seed Ambassadors Project in 2007 by Lieven David in Belgium. It’s been everywhere!

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.
