Ice Tomatoes

Does anyone know anything about Ice White Tomatoes! I was so excited to find this variety at the herb society sale a while back and I have to say this is probably the most impressive tomato I have. It is very elegant and the darkest green I have ever seen in a tomato plant. However, it does not have many tomatoes on it. In the two pictures below you can see they are starting to ripen, but they are yellow?

Is this normal? Are they going to change to white or did I get a mixed breed plant? The tomatoes are tight to the stem, so I don't think they are ready but I am sad if they are going to be yellow instead of white. Although I do have to say they are the prettiest pale yellow color. Any ideas would be helpful?

Oh and here is a picture of one of bees! It is really hard to take pictures of a bee, they do not cooperate. LOL! Someday, I hope to have a hive!! Lord help my poor husband!!!

  1. I planted a White Tomesol this year. This is my first time planting a white. Mine are starting to turn white. I looked at some other whites where I purchased my seeds. It does seem that some of them are a little on the yellow side. She did not have the variety that you planted though. Maybe you should taste it to see how it is.

  2. I have had Yellow ones but have never heard of a white one. I would think they would start out white but what do I know. Bees are almost as hard to take pictures of as tadpoles :)
