The Belle Linda tomato is a rare treasure, born under the watchful eye of Michel Verdon, aka "The Tomatoologist." Appearing through spontaneous crossbreeding in 2011, it was patiently selected and stabilized, then named in honor of Linda, the love of his life. This story gives this tomato a profoundly human and relational dimension, like a plant of memory carried by the heart.

In the garden, Belle Linda forms a large, indeterminate plant, reaching up to 2 meters in height. Its regular, slightly open foliage reveals superb , heart-shaped fruits with a slightly ribbed, deep red skin. Generous, it offers regular harvests in mid-season, approximately 75 days after planting.

In a nourishing garden that respects living things, it becomes a precious, faithful and sensitive companion, flourishing in living soil and a patient relationship with the rhythm of the seasons .
