i just ate my first ripe tomato of the season, it was called my stripey, it is a yellow tomato and it was so good, sweet juicey without a lot of seeds, i wish i would have planted more of them now.
We've always planted a variety called Lemon Boy, my mom loves them. It's like a bright orange color and we have fun with it at parties when we say something about the color of the tomato. She says they seem to have less acid flavoring to them.???
So, it's actually called "Mr. Stripy" I'll have to keep an eye out for it.......

Congrats on your 1st tomato Iowa! Hopefully you will get a bumper crop after the long wait you had! A tomato with just a few seeds??? Awesome!!! I can have NO seeds and I have been having a hard time dealing with it---no sweet corn, tomatoes, cucumber, strawberries...... It is a sad deal for me. I have diverticulosis and my diet is very limited. I will have to try those tomatoes. I also head that there is a seedless cucumber but have never found it.
