My daughter planted a few of these in our garden. Has anyone raised them before???

I tried a couple of them last year mixed in with some better boys and romas. I didn't get stripes on mine and they didn't get too big. I'm guessing they may have cross pollinated so you may want to keep them away from your other tomatoes. Let me know if you get striped ones......I'm may try them again, they looked pretty cool in the picture.

I think the stripes only happen in cool areas.

I've been using Peter's 20-20-20. I apply early in the moring before things begin to heat up.
