Goldmans Italian American
In 2010 I got seeds for Goldmans Italian American from Terroir Seeds. These tomatos were so good that I got seed from them again this year. The Goldmans are large, ribbed, and pear shaped This new seed produced some other more typical Italian paste tomato. No Goldmans at all. They are sending me new seeds. How about a few bushels of Goldmans?

Wow! What a tomato in that first shot!
I'm learning this happens quite a bit. When I discover that something I am growing isn't what it is suppose to be, I just hope it is at least a good tomato. Better luck next time!

That Goldman was a little bigger than a softball. I spent some time on the photo as I was posting it to pizzamaking.com. The other photo was just for evidence.
I guess I have to save the seeds next time but I barely have time to keep the garden up. I highly recommend the Goldman's for sauce and they're quite tasty raw as well. |

Good company but I got Pineapples last year that grew some smallish, round red tomatoes. The plant I gave my mother was the real McCoy. I didn't even have a seed in the house that was supposed to do that. |

Most of my unknown paste tomatoes are still green and may not survive Hurricane Irene. I'm well inland but the weather predictions are not good.

I ordered this year from Ohio Heirloom Seeds. Great and friendly service. Anyone know them?

I grew Goldman's Italian American for the first time this year too and I got both styles of tomatoes from the same plant. Mine were from Baker's heirloom seeds. I read that double and single fruits were the norm from ths plant. I had a few doubles that were near 16 oz. and then some singles that were almost 1/2 that. I had two plants and both did the same thing although neither was real prolific. I have saved seed and will happily share if anyone would like to try this particular strain.

Just a gentle suggestion. Goldman's Italian American was a selection from a hybrid and while I assumed the selection was genetically stable from what I'm reading that may not be true.

I got both single and doubles from GIA this year. My giant one spoiled before I could get seeds collected as it split when I tried to pick it.

ScottinAtlanta,
I have ordered from Ohio Heirloom Seeds as well. Never had any trouble with wrong seed, germination has always been great. They give nice generous quantities with reasonable prices too. |
