Growing Mr. Stripey Tomatoes:

Planting Mr. Stripey Tomato Seeds is a rewarding process that brings both beauty and flavor to your garden. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix, keeping the soil moist and warm (70-75°F). Once seedlings develop their second set of leaves, transplant them into larger containers. Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.

Transplant seedlings into the garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants 24-36 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. Provide support with stakes or cages, as indeterminate tomato plants like Mr. Stripey can grow tall and produce heavy fruit. Water consistently, aiming for deep, infrequent watering to encourage strong root systems. Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

As the plants grow, prune any suckers (the small shoots that grow between the stem and branches) to encourage better air circulation and larger fruit production. Fertilize with a balanced tomato fertilizer throughout the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant fruiting.

Harvesting and Using Mr. Stripey Tomatoes:

Harvest Mr. Stripey tomatoes when they develop their signature yellow and red stripes and feel slightly soft to the touch. Despite their unique coloration, these tomatoes are ripe and ready when they display vibrant hues and a slight give under gentle pressure. The fruits' low-acidity and high-sugar content make them perfect for fresh eating, as well as for cooking and preserving.

Slice them for fresh salads, layer them in sandwiches, or enjoy them on their own with a sprinkle of salt. Their beautiful large striped appearance makes them ideal for caprese salads or as a colorful addition to any dish. For preserving, consider canning, freezing, or making sauces to enjoy the flavor of your sweet garden tomatoes year-round.
