We were talking in a chat room one night a while back, than the name thing came up and this is what she settled on. Other than that I am not sure. ![]() ![]() Dono Maya we miss you more than words can describe. We love you so much and always will. Good bye baby girl. Feed the Earth and it will feed you!

I'm in the process of more-or-less final tally of what will definitely get planted, then Once I have that locked down, I'll be able to really see what's left and what I can or can't do to plant some more, etc. ![]() Learning never ends because we can share what we've learned. And in sharing our collective experiences, we gain deeper understanding of what we learned.

Her dog is Girl Girl and the mutant is a weird thing. She stating that she wasn't creative and that is all she could come up with. But I happen to love the name. 8) Here is a pic of what a friend of mine Blane came up with last year. Definitely not Green Zebra that is for sure, but was stated as being very good flavor wise and the color is so awesome. Here's to a great run with this one and the many other variety's I have. Never fear I will be flooding the forum with pics and info this season. ![]() Zoom in (real dimensions: 640 x 480)Image

Its a great tomato but I think what Drew is after are the basic details for our records like height; leaf type; DTM; average fruit size; etc. determinate/indeterminate/dwarf and so forth. I got a GGWT tomato from my buddy Jake this summer and it is both beautiful, meaty and tasty to boot. Looks like Fred's Tye Die kind of.
Any info for the records would be appreciated. ![]() Pete

I have obtained seed to this, only a few though. What sucks is next year I have so much work i have to limit my tomato growing to only 4 plants, so doubt I will be growing it next year.

Too bad as it is a dream tomato. I have attached some pics. I hope that they work out.
I think that's the right one. Pete ![]()

For the record I didn't grow the tomato but got it in a swap with a fellow tomatovillian. Can't wait to grow it though. ;-)

I'm hoping to score this seed in ginger's yearly offer and grow it in 2016.

The name of the tomato sort of creeps me out.
Sounds like some sort of strange burlesque show you wouldn't want your wife or friends to catch you at. ![]() Worth |
