Picture?

Mr. Stripey is not green and red. it's a gold/red bicolor that at maturity is a large beefsteak that looks gold with a second color, a pinkish/red, that extends upwards from the blossom end towards the stem end on the outside, and and if you cut open the fruit that second color is seen as a marblisg inside.

There are well over 200 named bicolors of the same kind.

So if you planted Mr Stripey this year something red and green would not be Mr. Stripey which is an heirloom variety.

And yes, a picture would help but I also know that not everyone has a camera or cell phone to take pictures, and I'm one of them. ( smile)

What other named varieties did you plant this year that might represent your red and green one?

Sorry, I only mentioned a picture because the poster did. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see any picture on the page mentioned. Maybe my page is different. I wasn't trying to be smart. I don't have a cell phone either.

ed, not to worry, I didn't see a picture either but yes, I thought you posted about a picture, asking for one. LOL

I've been watching too much Olympic tennis and other events, so that's my story and I'm sticking to it and when someone is playing and the match isn't good, then I come back here to my computer and check my e-mails, etc. LOL

when you first open up the tomatoe forum there is a picture of a basket with many different tomatoes. The one I am speaking about is at the 11:00 position. It is red with a green top.

Thanks Carolyn, no problemo.

OK, it's the Miracle Grow basket. I see the orange one in the upper middle, and it looks to me like to the left and right of it is a red tomato with maybe black on top. I don't see a red with green on top. Sorry I can't help with the ID.

I can see where it may look black, it has the stem facing sideways.
Thank you for your help.

The basket of tomatoes on the upper right has nothing to do with Miracle Grow.

Many years ago there was a contest here to chose the best photo to represent this Forum and the one pictured won and was from Patrina, who hails from Australia.

Many times folks have asked the varieties in that basket and years ago she answered and IDed all of them, but I did a search entering all kinds of words and can't find that thread.

Patrina hasn't been here at GW in a very long time. She is the Coordinator for the Southern Hemisphere for the Dwarf Project at another site, and I could ask her, but I doubt she remembers the names of the varieties since it was so very long ago that that contest was held.

I found the tag. It is a black krim.

Yeah, I thought the top of that tomato looked black but wasn't sure with lighting, angles, etc.

MG certainly did a stroke of business getting their logo/ad to cut into the picture like that.

Interesting....on my 15" monitor the MG ad cuts into the upper left corner of the tomato basket photo which is why I thought they had something to do with the photo, but on my wife's wider monitor the MG logo is completely separate, and at least a couple of inches to the left of the photo.
