-tigerella (is this OP? it doesn't say on the packet)

-Roma (is this OP? I was really thinking of purchasing Opalka seeds for paste/sauce but thought if this is really a determinate I could squeeze in one-two plant in one corner of my 4x4 raised beds?)

-Rutgers- I thought this was a good slicer but the packet says its a good sauce tomato too.. what do you guys think? (I was pretty excited to find these seeds marked down these have been on my wish list)

A very aggressive taste, splits with the AM dew, etc. It's one of three varieties that were bred in England at the Glasshouse Research Center, the other two are Craigella and Tangella, and those two I do like.

Nothing wrong with a generic Roma and Rutgers. both well known varieties.

Hope, that helps,

That makes it easier actually b/c I don't have room for all.... maybe I'll try the tigerella outside my main garden just for fun.

dickiefickle .. yeah.. I was pretty excited... I guess people weren't growing too much from seed in my area (lots of rain)... I got them for a little over a dollar each.....

BTW, Tigerella quickly got dubbed Mr. Stripey, which has caused all sorts of problems since when Wayne Hilton, who used to own Totally Tomatoes, Shumways, etc., and sold them to Jung's, sent seeds of a typical gold/red bicolor to Sedds by Design in CA, and them not knowing that there already was a Mr. Stripey, named that bicolor Mr. Stripey. LOL

Two very different varieties in all ways and I've spent many hours helping folks distinguish between the two inlcuding two well known seed sites where they pictured the bicolored Mr. Stripey, but called it Tigerella, which is a small red with jagged gold stripes, and not a bicolor.

Ah well,

Carolyn
