Whats your color?

Worth, if lavender is your favorite tasting tomato color, I want one of what you're having. (So that I can taste in psychedelic colors, too!)

Lavender tomatoes???

The clue may be in Worth's avatar.

I think he crossed cannibis with tomacco, fed them with "Release the Hounds" fertilizer, and watered with discharge from the Springfield nuclear power plant.

I don't think I want one of what he's having.

Wow I cant believe nobody has lavender tomatoes but me.

I have had seeds for these for many years, I got them from a cousin that was living in San Francisco back in 1967.
Story has it that he got them from some wizards that were living in the park.

They had a magic pipe and a magic potion that they also gave to him.
The instructions were to plant the seeds smoke the magic pipe and take the potion.
If the tomatoes started to have a paisley pattern you needed to lay off the potion till they tuned lavender.

Worth,

Was your cousin "Puff The Magic Dragon" by any chance?

Well, it is funny because Stump of the World is my favorite overall, and it is a deep pink. But my favorite color of tomatoes is green. I haven't met a GWR yet that I didn't like. My favorite green is Humph. I'm not growing it this year though. I'm growing Garden Lime. Someone (maybe Nicky) brought it to the Buffalo~Niagara party last year, and it was fantastic. I'm also growing Spears TN Green, Max's Large Green, and (partially green) Captain Lucky.

And Worth, you are too funny!

Remy,

Stump is also one of favorites. I was pleasantly surprised last year to discover Fred Limbaughs Potato Top is very much like stump, but considerably more productive.

I believe this vine had twenty three or twenty four tomatoes on it. Some are hidden behind other tomatoes.



I've always had a mental block about green tomatoes so I've never eaten a GWR. I don't know why, but it seems green tomatoes in my mind should either be fried or pickled. If you wanted to introduce someone new to the type, which one or two would you suggest they grow and why? I will try them next year in my garden.

I've never tried Fred Limbaughs Potato Top, but the amount of fruit on your plant is fantastic!
For GWR, a few I would recommend (of ones I have already grown a full season at least once) are all ones that get a yellow hue to the skin when ripe so they are easier to identify as ready to eat.
Humph- small sized beefsteaks, productive, amazing mix of flavors
Malachite Box - super productive, sweetest GWR I've had, actually starts to get an orange hue when ripe
Cherokee Green, also really productive, excellent flavor that I love more than Cherokee Purple, only downfall is like Cherokee Purple, you need to eat right away. They get over ripe fast.]

Well, that explains it then! I have quit smoking, so no lavender tomatoes for me! (I only smoked tobacco products, anyway.)

Also, I think your cousin may have met my cousin. He swore he went to wizard school back in the early nineties. Now he's middle aged, like me, and grows tomatoes, too.

Since not only are they not lavender, they are mere common hybrids, I'm going to assume he has lost standing with whichever deity (or illegal substance) he once communed with.

Ted,

I had the same mental block with GWR tomatoes for 5 years. Then I tried Green Giant, and the mental block was over. Unfortunately, I've since tried a few other GWR's, didn't care for any of those, and the mental block is back, with the exception of Green Giant.

Green Doctors and Green Doctors Frosted are out there tempting me, though.
