Has anyone ever heard about this kind? Are they easy to grow?

If you can grow the average heirloom, these will do well. They don't have resistance/tolerance to systemic diseases. They are not actually white, usually a pale yellow or Ivory. Quite a few cultivars. I have only grown Snowball and Great White. Very mild flavor.

Seacat Gardens in Phoenix grows white tomatoes so you should be able to grow them too. I bought a transplant from him at the Tomato Fest and so far it is doing quite well.

I picked up a plant for about a buck, so I figure I have nothing to loose.

Score on the price! Seacat sells them at the Farmer's Market for $5!

The local greenhouse I get from sells a small container and the 4 pack of plants for about 1.30 per. She always gives kids a free 4 pack of flowers so Billy loves to go in there. This year he got pansy and they are edible so I will add them to his salads..

MissJestr - gotta love a greenhouse like that! That's awesome.

tmeyers - can't say I've eaten the white toms before, but a friend here planted one so I hope to taste one soon...

Going back tomorrow for the last of the garden, and maybe some flowers.
