Hi Gang,

Goose Creek is red. Occasionally some of the fruits will exhibit a pinkish hue with orangey shoulders. Sorta like Anna Russian does. To me it is a red tomato.

If your Goose Creek is pink and beefsteak shaped you do not have Goose Creek.

If your Goose Creek is more than 8 ounces you do not have Goose Creek.

The photograph at Gleckler's is not Goose Creek. Not remotely. He has been bamboozled.

My website description is accurate.

Carolyn's asks re Jimmy: 'So why did he switch to a red from the original pink?'

He didn't.

Carolyn: "I can't help but wonder if it had anything to do with the comments I sent back to that magazine."

He never read it.

Jimmy does not sell fruits or seeds and never has. He sell plants at the Santa Monica and Hollywood Farmer's Markets. If you want to contact him just email me, tomatoplants@pacbell.net and I will put you in touch. He's wonderful guy. Not computer literate, no website.

Carolyn: "So at this point I'm willing to say that there is no ONE Goose Creek, viz, there can be either a pink or a red and either can be of variable size and have or not have ribbed shoulders. "

Nah, only one true variety. Not pink. Not large.

Big Daddy and Lee...I see red tomatoes in your photographs but it's 80 degress and 6 pm in Los Angeles and it's November. It's California after all and I may be hallucinating.

And Sunset's Red Horizon/Rostova is and always has been heart shaped.
:)

We are still picking beautiful ripe tomatoes out here. Carolyn, c'mon over, we'll make BLTs.

Peace Out,

Laurel
