Artisan tomato question
I started seeds for several Artisan tomatoes, Green Tiger, Lucky Tiger, Sunrise Bumblebee and Purple Bumblebee. GT and LT seem quite wispy and I was wondering if that is the norm, Fred, your input is what I'm looking for as well as anyone else's experience. Thanks, Sharon

Lucky Tiger was a wispy plant when I grew it.

A lot of Fred's stuff is wispy. I can't remember which artisans are more wispy than others, but I'm sure it's fine.

That's what I thought. Thanks, good to know. Well hopefully if it ever stops raining, they will perk up more!

I know it's not one of the Artisans, but Spike is the wispiest tomato plant I have ever grown. It is definitely a unique variety. I am looking forward to it.

Make sure you sample Spike through all of it's ripening colors. The flavor changes alot during ripening.
It is a maddening tomato for a farmer. Great flavor, but hard to get to the market without bruising. |
