Grubs Mystery Green
Wild Thyme
Green Giant
Spears Tennessee Green
Cherokee Lime Stripes

Can you tell me what you liked and how the plants were for the Grubs Mystery Green and Wild Thyme?



Worth, we aren't all that crazy about the tomatillo flavors either. They taste bitter to me.

They are nasty the only good ones I have ever had were ones I let get yellow and ripe.
Even then they take up too much space and are finicky.

I liked the flavor of both of those. On the sweeter side versus tangy. They are both strong, productive plants. Production starts at mid-season for both as well.
The leaf type can fluctuate with Grub's in my experience. I have grown both reg. leaf and pot. leaf and saw no differences in the fruit.

green viper is one nobody said yet

Does anyone know a green when ripe tomato that sets fruit well in really hot temperatures in a dry and semi-arid area? I'm guessing Green Pear should do well. I think I heard that Grub's Mystery Green is heat-tolerant, but I'm not sure if it does well in dry heat, yet. Cherokee Green and Cherokee Green Pear are both descended from Cherokee Purple (which is supposed to be heat-tolerant, but I don't think it likes it dry). Hopefully the pear nature of Cherokee Green Pear (and that I got it from a Utah vendor) will make a difference. Cherokee Green Pear is a sport of Cherokee Green, though (so it doesn't have pear tomato ancestors as far as I know).
