Overview
Goldie is a name that covers two different tomatoes. The open-pollinated garden strain is a big main-season slicer: 16 to 20 oz, red with deep-orange streaks, and semi-solid rather than juicy. Vines are indeterminate. It catfaces in cold or very wet weather, so plant after the soil warms. A separate 1979 Petoseed hybrid called Goldie was a dwarf plant with small round yellow fruit; do not confuse the two. About 90 days.
