I garden in zone 6b. We have some pretty challenging weather sometimes. I don't claim to be an expert, so you will see my successes and my failures. I really appreciate feedback, so please say hi so I'll know you've dropped by.

Stripe German Heirloom Tomatoes.

Really nice video I'm fixing to start some of those myself I grew the German Johnson last year and I was really happy with the production and the taste I figured I would try these also.
Thanks! Yes, it never hurts to try. I've been growing mostly dwarf tomatoes from the dwarf tomato project in recent years. I've kind of fallen out of love with indeterminate types.
EXCELLENT START TO FINISH!
Thank you very much Jerri!
Loved the video, I have so many blossoms and the plant is vigorous in growth but only a few tomatoes have set. Really enjoyed watching you try it out, looking forward to it! Thanks :D
I hope it does well for you Renee! This year I'm growing several different dwarf tomatoes from the dwarf tomato project.
we love our striped German tomatoes.. they can get about 1.5 lbs to 2 lbs each
That's pretty good size. We didn't have any get that big, but we sure loved the ones we got. They are pleasing to the eye too!
Hey thanks for the seeds! I got them today. I live in zone 6A close to 6B. I think you get to plant out a couple of weeks before I do but they should do good in my area if they did well for you.I don't mind late ripening tomatoes either, a lot of the later one seems to taste better than the early ones. Not there there isn't good early varieties because there is. My tomato plants are doing well this year but they are all producing a little bit later than they have in previous years. We had a cold snap in May, where it was unseasonably cold for a couple of weeks so that probably has something to do with it. Thanks again.
Hope they do well for you. Looking forward to growing the Texas Star here. Thanks to you too. I'll look for the videos on them next year :)
"Excuse while I take another bite" Hahaha..I kept replaying that part over and laughing haha
Glad that you enjoyed that part. Thanks for watching.
I got some seeds from Johnny's for this variety. Can't wait to sow 'em.
Cool! Good luck with them.
Hey Jim, thanks for the taste test, adding this one to my possible list for next year, T.
Set on later than some. I liked the unique look of them.
I've got a question. Of all the tomatoes you are growing this year, which one is performing the best for you? Or maybe a few of the top ones.
1. Indigo Rose - always loaded and was the first to ripen. 2. 'Noire de Crimee' setting on throughout the whole summer. Loaded with fruit and I like the taste of it too. This is my first year for this one and it's a keeper. 3. The Orange Rousslini tomato has been very productive, but it didn't excite me to much. It's a roma and orange one which never seem to have enough acid/tang for me. I have a few large size Golden Cherokee and Black Pineapple tomatoes growing, but neither one has ripen yet for me to make my final decision on them yet.
Thanks a lot for the info. I might check into the 'Noire de Crimee' that sounds like a good one. It's hard to beat the indigo rose for production. Pretty dependable. I noticed a minute ago that you had a new video. I'll go check it out. Thanks again.
Just put some of the 'Noire de Crimee' in my shopping cart for later. Looks like a really good one.
I have a Striped German Tomato plant which is about 6' tall now. Lots of large fruit. One very large tomato is bright green and has been for a couple of weeks. Deeper color than a Granny Smith apple, and deeper than the others which are lighter. How do I know when to pick this tomato? It's quite hard to the touch still, but I don't notice the color turning yellow or red? Thanks.
I always waited till I saw some color before picking. As long as they are starting to turn a little orange, it probably wouldn't hurt to pick them and let them ripen on the kitchen counter.
Hi, I really enjoy your channel. I think I live in the same general area as you. Can you tell me if this Striped German is similar to the Old German potato leaf?
Thanks Mark! When I originally grew them, I thought they were two different tomatoes, but since then, I've read that it is just two different names for the same tomato.
You planted it out April 13 in zone 6?..is Striped German hardy.enough to go out then?..I'm in zone 6.too and generally don't put my tomatoes.or.peppers out till late May
Stripe German will freeze just like any other tomato. Every zone 6 isn't the same. Also, every year is different. I like to plant early when I can, but in many years I can't plant till about the 1st of May. I normally get to about the middle of April then I take a hard look at the 10 day weather forecast for our area. I sometimes gamble by planting early and end up having to cover all my plants.
October now, mine are orange . Are they ripe or did they get to the point they will never ripen to the correct stage?
If they are orange, they are probably ripe. Without a lot more information, I can't really say for sure from here.
What state? Must be in the south?
We are in South Central Kansas.
Are these hard to grow? Can a new gardener grow these? Thank you..
Yes, a beginning gardener could grow them. As long as you give them plenty of support.
@@MidwestGardener thank you so much..🙏😊 Heirlooms always look scary to me 😢..
@@angeld6243 You're welcome! One to think about for next year....Boronia. It's a manageable size, produces a decent number of tomatoes, and tastes great.
@@MidwestGardener thank you so much for replying.. 🙏😊
