Carolyn,
I thought I made it clear in my posting that I know they aren't Golden Queen, even though that's the name that was on them when I received them. Maybe my writing skills are deteriating as fast as my spelling skills.
I'll probably never know what they really are, or they may be a cross of some sort. For two years they've been the very last tomato to begin ripening, much later than anything else I've planted. Thing is, once they start... they produce a really tasty tomato, not as large as I would like a tomato to be, but quite nice on the palette. Especially with a slight touch of that creole seasoning!
They need almost twice as long to ripen as my favorite slicers. Definately a long season tomato, which amazes me as they came from a grower in British Columbia.
Stay warm!
Camo
