Growers’ Notes and Photos (USDA Zone 8 Experience)
Bought a seed mix in the States back in 2012. I managed to ID this variety and Golden Sunburst out of it. Djena Lee’s Golden Girl is a tasty, mid-early (definitely not late) bright orange tomato of medium size. Yield was average. Keeps really well (one tomato I picked on Aug 27 is still sitting around). Indeterminate variety. Really liked it.
