Question about "Mr. Stripey" tomatoes?
Have any of you ever grown this variety?
I was getting supplies to service my lawn mower this morning, and the picture of them caught my eye. I've never seen this variety around here before, and it didn't cost much, so I adopted one. Did I make a wise purchase?

we grow mr stripey as part of our heirloom tomato selection at my families garden center. no major issues with them but they do grow a little differently than your average tomato. i would say the key is patience because they produce fruit later in the season than say a big boy or beefsteak(or most of the other common varieties).if you grow other types of tomatoes, i wouldnt replace them with mr stripey but it can certainly be a great addition to you vegetable garden. if you end up liking mr stripey i might suggest brandywine next. its the most popular type of heirloom we sell and people swear it has the best flavor.
