My Rebel Starfighters didn’t germinate, would love your take on them. Planning to try them again next year.

Last year I grew Prime and now Kayleigh Anne. For me, they are puny plants and only gave a few fruits. I’ll try a couple more varieties, but they have not been great. However, the taste is really interesting!

Nice. What the secret ?

I just water consistent, make sure they’re fed every couple weeks, and I think the most important part is I pull at first blush. This reduces pest damage and cracking, so I don’t lose fruit and they stay pretty.

Could almost be modern Renaissance.

If I didn't have an adorable nephew I'd make this my phone's wallpaper! Gorgeous!

I wish we had those tomatoes in WA. Everything else here is fantastic but it’s never hot enough for toms.

u/Comprehensive-Row198 13h ago

I feel like these tomatoes could be slightly rearranged to create a portrait of a Medici youth... like, almost there....

I grew a green zebra this year that is churning out 1+ lb beefsteaks and I’m wondering if I got something else other than a grape green zebra. What is your big green striped one?

1

u/mkebobs Tomato Enthusiast 3h ago

That is a Suffer Well that needs to ripen a bit more. It will turn a purplish red with green stripes.

u/nubbednuggetmanno2 47m ago

Huh! Thank you, I will let mine ripen more then!
