Pike County

gkcole · May 17, 2010

Hi all,

I'm growing the tomato "Pike County" for the first time this year. (I picked up my plant at Thieneman's, for those who are interested.) It's listed as a pink tomato, approximately 8 to 12 ounces, if I recall correctly. But I have also seen Pike County listed on some sites (such as SESE) as a yellow to orange beefsteak. Any idea on which one is the "real" Pike County. Any history on where the tomato or tomatoes originated would also be appreciated. (I have kinda figured out that it came from Pike County, KY already.)

Thanks,

Gary
