Okay, I am confused. I have two tomatoes here, and I am sure that ONE of them is Mr. Stripey. At first, I thought it was the one on the left. A beautiful tomato in itself....very firm, large, little cracking, nice orange color. However, today I found the tomato on the right. While it is still a little green...I think it is the actual Mr. Stripey. Let's examine evidence piece #2.
When I flip them over, I believe the 2nd one has the telltale 'stripes' of Mr. Stripey. Which is fine, it is also a beautiful hefty tomato. But this leaves me with a problem.
What is the first tomato? My friend @erynia from twitter gave me many plants, but I don't think this is one she gave me. I also bought a few random tomato plants at the greenhouse, which is where I think this one came from. What is it then? I would be very grateful for help identifying it, because it is a very nice-tasting one. Is it orange enough to be Nebraska Wedding Tomato? I can't remember if I picked one of those up or not. May seems so long ago. Maybe I wrote it in my garden journal.
These are black cherry tomatoes....I just think they are lovely.

I cant offer much help in distinguishing types of tomato. I can only pinpoint with full confidence towards cherry tomato. Nice tomato you have, a little marked, but alright. ~bangchik
ReplyDeleteThe green toped one is a Mr.stripey, the other one, maybe a pineapple Heirloom tomato. other then that I have no idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm behind on reading blogs - sorry I didn't see this sooner! But I think I might have your answer! Did you take any of my Brandywine plants? The package of seeds had both red and yellow plants in it: http://www.botanicalinterests.com/store/search_results_detail.php?seedtype=V&seedid=632
ReplyDeleteI don't have any yellow Brandywines yet for us to compare this to, (still just swimming in romas), but maybe this is your mystery tomato?
