Farmer's Market Tomatoes

[jmsieglaff]

I like to sample different tomatoes at the farmer's market to see if certain varieties are ones I'd like to grow.

Today we got these 4; green zebra, red zebra, purple Cherokee, and unknown large green striped.

The Cherokee Purple and Green Zebra were the two favorites of the lot, the unknown large green striped tomato was next and red zebra isn't a tomato high on the grow list. I'm growing Vince's Haze dwarf tomato this year and I can definitely see some similarities in the flavor between it and Cherokee Purple, although the Cherokee Purple was more acidic. Anyone have a clue on the unknown striped green? I've looked through Tatiana's and TGS, but can't say for sure. Only having a picture to look at I know it's impossible to know for sure.

There's not a lot of widely grown gwr varieties. My guesses would be Aunt Ruby's German Green or Spears Tennessee Green. It looks a little big to be a Cherokee Green. These are just guesses, though. Variety can't be determined for certain from a picture.

Possibly Cherokee Lime Stripes.

I hadn't found Cherokee lime stripes. That looks like it both outside and inside. Thanks for sharing!

You've got something much better than a name and a description in a seed catalog... You've got seeds!!!
