Okay,
Tried growing GGWT in 2016 but a black squirrel decided that I should not and cut the plant.....
In 2018, grew it again with the following results...…

Grew it this past season. Wasn't really impressed. It was late, low production, and short shelf life. Did taste OK but that was its only attribute here. Have plenty of seeds if anyone want to try it.

The truth is more important than the facts.

I really liked the flavor of GGWT when I've grown it! It's not always successful for me, but then I've had a few less than stellar tomato years overall. I was thinking I might grow this one again this year.

Very good flavor, here too! Have grown it several times. Girl Girl's Weird Thing is the correct name. Girl Girl was the name of the dog belonging to the lady who discovered this weird colored tomato growing in her garden. She offered seeds on another older Pro-board tomato forum.

I grew them and LOVED them. It has been a couple of years since I had any due to the rains but I vote yes, you should try them!! Not only are they pretty, they are tasty!!
Edit to add: GOSH now I have to check and see if I have seeds left!

I really liked GGWT, too. The production was mediocre (that is a problem for me with many tomato varieties), but it was delicious.
I should grow it again sometime soon! But I have a severe case of the "too many seeds for varieties I have not tried yet, but not enough garden space to grow them" problem.

Many if not most of us suffer from this problem and I'm told that there is no cure known to man/woman..... It may come but not in the near future...

I tried it in 2016, and saw potential in it (as well as in crosses with it), but I don't think my original seed was 100% GGWT. The flavor didn't at all match what other people said, and the color was maybe different.
I have new seed sources to try. So, when I do, maybe I can let you know.

Girl Girl was the name of the dog belonging to the lady who discovered this weird colored tomato growing in her garden Interesting. I had wondered how someone came up with that name.
