Sgt. Peppers

clara · July 3, 2017

I'm growing Sgt. Pepper's for the third year in a row and I was always very pleased with it - beautiful dark blue-pink hearts. Somebody whom I had given a tomato last year refused to eat it, he said "It's too beautiful to eat it!"

But this year, something strange has happened: I have large trusses of flowers, similar to a MF type, but when now I was back from my holidays, I saw that I don't have a single fruit despite all these flowers. And there is no more antho in the stem, not even a tiny bit. When I had put the seedling into the ground, the stem was so dark, you could recognize the variety at first glance. Now it's looking as all "normal" tomatoes...
