Camo, I'm hoping to finally get to taste Barlow Jap. After two seasons with fusarium killing it before it could get any grown fruit I have a grafted plant that has a nice fruit set and so far no fusarium signs.

Bill,
I certainly hope the grafting works successfully for you and that you get to enjoy some soon. I was really impressed with the grafting success I saw last year on German Johnson-Benton Strain.

Efisakov,
I quit growing Carbon a few years back, With garden size reduction, I had to eliminate it and others that weren't as good as DDR, Bear Creek or Amazon Chocolate. Then too I also let Blackmaster fall from regular growing list, and that one was much better than most. I hope that Carbon continues to be a favorite in your garden.

Those growing Mr Stripey and finding it to be a spitter.
First off, there are two different Mr. Stripey. One is a small not overly impressive tomato. The second, which I'm more familiar with is a large bi-color that I found quite impressive the first time I tasted one from a friends garden. So impressed that the following season I bought a half dozen of them. They were YECH!
I later discovered that my friend didn't water his garden at all. I withheld water from my Mr. Stripey's, to find a definite improvement in taste for the remainder of the year. That said...I no longer grow Mr.Stripeys anyway, but try withholding water to improve their taste.
Enjoy
Camo
