I managed to ID this variety and Golden Sunburst out of it. Djena Lee&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/146\/826-180916052618-146520370.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/146\/thumb_826-180916052618-146520370.jpeg\" alt=\"Djena Lee's Golden Girl tomato, photo posted by Katya iz Kieva (1)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/146\/826-180916052619-1465541793.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/146\/thumb_826-180916052619-1465541793.jpeg\" alt=\"Djena Lee's Golden Girl tomato, photo posted by Katya iz Kieva (2)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/146\/826-180916052824-146555907.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/146\/thumb_826-180916052824-146555907.jpeg\" alt=\"Djena Lee's Golden Girl tomato, photo posted by Katya iz Kieva (3)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/146\/826-180916052825-146556893.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/146\/thumb_826-180916052825-146556893.jpeg\" alt=\"Djena Lee's Golden Girl tomato, photo posted by Katya iz Kieva (4)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/146\/826-180916053031-146557237.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/146\/thumb_826-180916053031-146557237.jpeg\" alt=\"Djena Lee's Golden Girl tomato, photo posted by Katya iz Kieva (5)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/146\/826-180916053031-1465601258.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/146\/thumb_826-180916053031-1465601258.jpeg\" alt=\"Djena Lee's Golden Girl tomato, photo posted by Katya iz Kieva (6)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- 5.
