If you have a Mr. Stripey that you like, Gunnar, it really behooves you to save the seed. Here's why:
There actually were two different tomatoes introduced at about the same time with the name Mr. Stripey. As if that wasn't bad enough, there were two others brought out, called something like tangella that not only look similar, but which are often sold as Mr. Stripey.
So, in effect, there are four Mr. Stripey tomatoes out there. Not only is this confusing, if you happen to like one of them, there's no guarantee that the plants or seeds you buy by that name next year will be the same tomato. |
