Striped Tomatoes
3 Answers
I was given a few seeds for these, but I had never heard of them before. However, I now have 3 plants bearing quite a lot of fruit, each fruit enclosed in a sort of Chnese Lantern, for want of a better description. I have no idea when they will be ripe, what they taste like, or indeed, to what I can look forward at all. Can any kind person enlighten me. Thanks!

I dont eat tomatoes so cant say what they taste like but I hear they are a bit tangy. Look here for what a ripe one looks like.
