clkingtx if you PM me in mid August or later, I would be more that happy to send on some seeds. Don't PM me now because you will end up getting lost while waiting for my plants to ripen their fruits.

Edited to add: whoops, I see that someone else has already gotten clkingtx taken care of

Still waiting on ripe fruit. Some are quite big already. That said. GGWT was one of two tomatoes that I trialed in an area with obscenely hard clay that really took off. The root on these things seem able to punch straight through.

Yep I'm growing straight from her batch of seeds. I don't think she even kept track of generation. She mention that she's only been selecting for productivity and taste.

Lovely, mine are that color as well. No larger than their parent Green Zebra, and that's fine with me, I don't need giant tomatoes.

What a nice looking tomato. I wish I'd have found this thread before the season started. I'm going to give it a whirl next season. I already ordered seed!

Very pretty tomato. I pulled my first two last Sunday and are ripening nicely...(i have 4 plants total so many on their way....
I do not get many toms over or near a lb so this first early is impressive for my climate.
