Early Wonder, pink or red?
Has anyone had the Early Wonder from TGS produce deep scarlet fruit?
The description in the TGS catalog says "round, dark pink tomatoes with an average weight of 6 ounces". The seeds I got from TGS did produce round pink fruit (and the skin was clear, not yellow). Some fruits were 6 oz., but the overall average was a little less than that. I listed Early Wonder with SSE last year as "Tomato, Pink/purple" and described it as pink. But my listing showed up in the Red section along with one from Glenn Drowns, who said it's deep scarlet. Glenn didn't say what his source of seed was. Does anyone know for sure whether TGS's Early Wonder is the same as or different from Sand Hill's (which I bet is the old Burgess one)? All of the forum posts I've seen say the TGS Early Wonder is light pink, dark pink, pink-red, or just pink. No red ones mentioned so far, let alone deep scarlet. So has anyone here had a deep scarlet one show up from TGS? |
