Carolina Gold

Third year or so that I have ordered this wonderful tomato. The last two years I have ordered extra as gifts for my gardener family . Sturdy and mild and just plain Yummy. I even froze some for the winter as a delicious addition to a stew or soup. So glad I found the Grow Joy site. Thank you

Extra Ordinary

I can’t even begin to describe how incredibly great this tomato variety is! GrowJoy’s plants arrive healthy and ready to be planted. The plant produces gorgeously abundant fruit! Carolina Gold is creamy and sweet!.

Healthy plant that produces excellent tomatoes

The plant arrived carefully packed and in excellent condition. These are the first tomatoes to ripen in my garden this year. The tomatoes are firm, juicy and delicious with few seeds.

The Best...

This is the most delicious tomoto I've ever had and I'm 71 years old.... heavy, meaty and very tasty. Very prolific. Great for salsa.

Carolina Gold Tomato

Plant arrived on time. It's looking a bit small and hasn't grown as much as the other tomato plants I planted at the same time. I hope it gets better
