Girl Girl's Weird Thing
 

I have had little luck obtaining any info on the variety. Any info appreciated.

Found this on the Helpful Gardener forum.

I'm more curious about the origin of the double plural "girls girls" part of the name. :?:

Hard to say really. 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. :lol: I would put up a link to a thread all about this tomato but this forum will not allow it. :cry:

LOL :D
Correct name is "Girl Girl's..." and I remember it as that they have a dog named "Girl Girl" and this dog likes to eat (i.e. steal) tomatoes and particularly favored this tomato.

...I have the seeds, but somehow managed to overlook this variety when I was in frenzy of seed starting. 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. :()

Yes Apple is right I was thinking wrong. 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. :mrgreen:

See post #50, I posted a photo. I love this tomato so much.

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. :)

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'll try it in 2017.

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.:no:

I am hoping they mature well. I have several little greenies on the plant right now.

Indeterminate RL, 6' tall, moderately heavy fruit set, gorgeous golden green stripes on purple/ maroon fleshed, gently ribbed 8-12 oz or more beefsteak. Days to maturity I don't really pay attention to, not relevant here in the land of the 10 month season, but it is a mid to mid late season I think. Also, one of the last ones to still have fruit and not much foliar issues. Fabulous flavor. Juicy, not dry.

That one looks familiar for some reason... and yes, that's GGWT.

Glad you liked it.

There'll be slightly less mystery in the MMMM for you.;)

The name turned me off too.
