★★★★☆ A nice, yellow skinned green fleshed all purpose beauty
By Craig LeHoullier on February 10, 2022

Green fleshed tomatoes are nearly all delicious. The clear skinned ones can be a challenge to judge when ripe. This one has a ripeness indicator - the skin turns yellow. A salad tomato, canner, griller, the balanced flavor tends to a touch of tartness - a very refreshing, enjoyable bite.
