| Positive | audsrz | On May 26, 2011, audsrz from Traverse City, MI (Zone 5a) wrote: The confusion may be due to the fact that there are TWO striped cavern tomatoes. Both bred by the same man. 'Schimmeig Creg Striped Cavern' has 4-6" fruits while 'Scheimeig Striped Cavern' has 2-4" fruits. Both are OP heirlooms but other than fruit size identical. Regular leaf on both, some may have been crossed with each other by growers not realizing they were two different cultivars. |

I was planning to offer these to an upscale eatery,but they didn't grow uniform in size enough for commercial sales for me.Individual salad portions for bridal luncheons was what I had in mind,but there were too many small ones.
They do make a nice cup for salads and if you can't digest the bell peppers,then they will stuff and bake with your favorite stuffed pepper recipe.
The flavor is bland,but as the cup makes a great container for something else,I feel like that is not quite as important. |
