my green beans on the ends of the rows have always lost leaves totaly overnight in a shroud of mystery. Not completely, but around shin high to about head high. Given time they recover, replace leaves and keep on producing. Had my theories, and this morning caught the deer red handed munching on my bean leaves. I haven't been spraying my repelent cause I was out and forgot about it. Guess it's off to Lowe's today.

This is one of many maters from a volunteer plant. Anyone got a clue as to what kind of mater?

Maybe a potato-leafed Hillbilly? Did the leaves look a bit different from tomato leaves? More like... (wait for it) potato leaves? If you let it ripen up a bit more before you slice it, post up a picture. I'd love to see if it's blotched red in the center, surrounded by yellow.

I'll have to take a closer look at the leaves in the morning. We've beat the wildlife to 3 of them. Lol These things are frigging huge, imo. So far, I've eaten about 6 mater and cheese sammiches with all 6 being made from the same mater. We picked 2 more today, so it looks like I get to eat a whole bunch more 1:).

I'd say Mr. Stripey

I like this guess, and it’s the name I was fishing for. I’d love to see a pic on one that had ripened more.

Another heirloom tomato, and easily (possibly) a parent of a hybrid that got planted. The hybrid dropped a tomato, which left seeds; the seeds only carried one parent’s DNA; one sprouted, and here you are, looking at a descendant of one of the hybrid’s forebearers.

Two decades ago, I grew Mr. Stripey for two years in a row. None of the fruits were ever that big.
