Mr Mercury is a tomato I first grew for a fellow member here a number of years ago. Have been slow to regrow it due to having too many other varieties to try. Planted a number of plants this year, about 8, in what has turned out to be a very poor tomato season. Judging from daughters response to a piece on her plate tonight, it is now on the must grow list for next year. Fruit ripen with yellow stripes first then the background ripens to yellow, with the stripes remaining visible. The fruit pictured is 6.6 Oz, out of a 15 Oz fruit which is indicative of the poor season we are having. Far to much cloud, less than 10 days over 30C and only one or two over 35. Not a typical summer by any means. No plants nearing top of stakes when by now the should have out grown them.
