I'm trying out Summertime Green (Dwarf Project) this year... It will be my first GWR, ever. Fingers crossed!

Really enjoyed Green Giant and Green Doctors Frosted last year. I was going to grow dwarf Emerald Giant and Summertime Green this year, but Summertime Green was 1 of 2 varieties that failed to germinate and I used all my seed--in 2 sowings. First time I had a variety fail to germinate much less two. At least I've got Emerald Giant.

Cole Robbie, thanks for the review; I'm looking forward to trying it. Having never grown or even eaten a GWR tomato, I have no idea what I'm missing! (I also have no idea how to quote more than one Tomatovillian in a reply...) |

About my post #26,I never came back, but I did have a good story about both Green Zebra and how and why it ended up in my tomato book and and info about Alice Waters,the famous chef in CA, which I didn't put in my book, as well as my love of Green Zebra cherry, which is not related to Green Zebra and how it came about.

I'm kinda glad to hear that Green Zebra Cherry is not related to Green Zebra, as I was hoping the cherry would be more sweet than tart.

A big thumbs-up for Grub's Mystery Green. Best of GWR in my garden.

Even though Summertime Green has my name attached to it on some sites, after helping with that part of the Project, I recused myself from any more GWR grow-outs. How could I send seeds to the rest of the group if I couldn't say they came from a good tasting tomato? Summertime Green was OK.

I'm growing Beryl Beauty this year. I loved Cherokee Green and Lime Green Salad. The spicy taste was to my liking.

I have liked all the ones I tried so far. I have done Summertime green, Grandpa Gary's Green from the dwarf project and then a few others... I also did dr Carolyn's frosted green cherry..... but the hard thing is to catch them when they are ripe not overripe (because I either didn't know or forgot where a gwr was planted because I lost a tag or it got buried)

I've grown Green Giant and Dwarf jade Beauty, and loved them both - especially Jade Beauty because of its spicier sweet flavor. Green Giant was very productive in my greenhouse. I'm growing Malakhitovaya Shkatulka (Malachite Box) for the first time this year.

Another vote for Green Giant! It was exactly that last year for me and she's back again this year. A lot of LARGE fruit, great tasting, and overall healthy! To me, had a tartness that I never found in a tomato. That one along with Dwarf Jade Beauty! Although DJB wasn't as productive or even close, still a great tasting one.
Another is a mystery Green I've been growing for around 6-7 years. Was supposed to be something else but produced a beautiful, Amber skinned, bright green center fruit that was probably the best green I've tasted. Potato leaf as well. she's had some disease the last couple years and I'm almost out of seed!! lol watching her closely this year. Greg |
