Mr Stripey and Big Boy tomatoes aren't worth planting

As I mentioned in my last post, The Boy and I removed some tomato plants that were never productive.  After my starters never did anything (I'm blaming the water softener), I purchased a number of varieties to see what worked and what didn't.  Two varieties of tomato that I bought were a complete waste of money.

Of the four or so Mr Stripey and Big Boy tomato plants that I had planted, I didn't get a single tomato out of either variety.  With each type, they'd get to a decent size, develop a number of splits while green, then start changing colors.  All I got out of each type was an expanded cloud of fruit flies.

I won't ever plant those tomato plants again.  They weren't worth the time, money or space they occupied in the garden.
