Goose Creek is Definitely Pink (pics)

rnewste · July 25, 2010

Some history. My Goose Creek seeds came from a plant someone here on Tomatoville sent me, who purchased it at Laurel's in S. California 2 years ago, so I know its lineage is the "real deal". I've run 3 EarthTainer trials this season with 2 Goose Creek each per 'Tainer. One 'Tainer with "Old" Tomato-tone, one with the "New" formulation, and one with Tomaten Dunger that Ami had sent me.

Here is a cluster just picked from one of the Tomaten Dunger plants:

The largest one is approximately 4 inches in diameter. Goose Creek on the "Old" Tomato-tone plants are producing tomatoes about 3 inches in diameter as the largest one, which was "normal" for the past 2 Seasons. Tomato on the right:

I don't know how well the digital camera and lighting are, but I would characterize the skin color as a "Hot Pink" shade. First taste starts off a bit "sweet" like a Momotaro, then wham! it finishes with all of the "bite" of a Brandywine Sudduth...

Still my #1 favorite tomato!
