I am not sure that I am filing this in the right place, since there seems to be two different tomatoes with the same name.

The "Goldie" I grew was HUGE, at least as big as a softball. I was given the seedling and as I did not know what to expect, I put it in one of my largest pots, about 14". Unfortunately, I have little luck with really big tomatoes in pots, and this one was the worst performer ever. It only produced 4 fruit in the season. Only one of them was properly fertilized, and the others were badly misshapen. The one that did grow true looked a bit like a yellow Beefsteak, but if anything, it was bigger. The fruit that did grow took forever to ripen, at least 4 weeks each. Since they were available on the vine so long, 2 were too badly predated to eat, so I only got to taste two of them. They were very nice, bright yellow, low acid, tender flesh and good flavor. I saved the seed but I saw no reason too replant them, when the prolific garden peach can throw off 100+ equally tasty fruit for the same effort. Now I am wondering if my version of "Goldie" would even breed true. Anyone want some mystery seed?
