What are your experiences with the 'other' green when ripes?

Suze · January 29, 2006

As most of you may have noticed, Green Giant has been getting just a wee bit of attention lately.

It does sound like a fabulous variety, and I'll be trying it out this year.

Of the green when ripes I've grown, I think Cherokee Green was very good, even though I only got to taste a couple of fruits - autumn crop, so not much fruit set. I like Aunt Ruby's German Green as well. Lime Green Salad was pretty tasty -- surprisingly good for such a compact plant.

However, as many of you know, there are plenty of perfectly good (and even great) tomato varieties out there that just don't get mentioned as much as some of the other currently 'hot' ones.

So, I'm curious about your impressions and personal experiences with some of the other green when ripes like, for example, Evergreen, Moldovan Green, Greenwich, Green/Dorothy's Green, Stokes Green, Green Velvet, Green Pineapple, and others I probably have never even heard of...fill in the blank.
