Goat Bag
On a different forum, a few members are growing this, and some others think it may be the same thing as Cow's Tit. Anyone know the history of Goat Bag?

http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/w...b=General_Info As to Goat Bag, a Google search wasn't all that helpful Tania doesn't list it, so I went to may latest SSE Yearbook and I think this might well be it. Have to type it out, darn. Called Goat Tit and the history is very different from Cow's Tit, but the description of the fruits is about the same as is true for many tens of long reds usually used for paste, etc indet, 4" long by 2 " wide, nipple on the end, nice dry flavor?, very productive The other person listing it says: 75-80 days, large red Roma style with very good flavor, often shaped like its namesake, a goats udder, exl for fresh eating or cooking, red fruit but some could pass for dark pink ( I guess no epi check here), originally obtained in 1990 from a man in Milwaukee, OR, who received them from a lady who brought them from an unknown region of italy. Mayre Lee shared them with us several years ago. I read a different story which was a dead end for the Google Search. First the search; https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=goatbag+tomato And now the different story from a link from above. http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussi...ag-tomato-seed Want to be confused a bit more on history? No problem with fruit color /shape, and I'd forgotten I posted in the the thread below and had done a lot of background searching, http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussi...houghts-please Carolyn

And what Worth doesn't know is that I know very well who the Beekman Boys are and their farm is off rt 20 in the CHerry Valley here in NYS.
Worth, whatever are YOU doing with that book let alone the goat reading it?'' https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Beekman+Boys Just mentioning that at last year's Book Festival in Glens Falls, home of my fave hospital for fixing various parts of my body, they were the hit lecture/presentation with folks flocking in, all seats gone in the lecture room, etc. And to think where they started from. Sorry for going off topic Marsha, but it's Worth's fault, not mine, since I was obligated to respond. Carolyn
