Busy as usual doing the things gardeners do; planting, hoeing, weeding, harvesting, and doing crosses of potatoes and tomatoes that most folks don't do.
Send an email to me at thoswagner@yahoo.com if you feel there is a subject I should cover on my blog. I will try to add photos as time allows. Meanwhile go to my forum at http://tatermater.proboards107.com/index.cgi and either login or register.

This is a good example of how poorly some the original material was for green stripes.. I have done so much breeding with this gene that it is now very expressive in my developed varieties such as Green Zebra, Vintage Wine, etc.
Green Zebra tomato
In my opinion, the is one of the most recognized tomatoes in the Heirloom trade. Four varieties went into the makeup of the original hybrids and subsequent generations. First introduced in the Tater Mater Seed Catalog in 1983.
