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.
I would put up a link to a thread all about this tomato but this forum will not allow it.

LOL
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.

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.

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.
