Overview
Striped Cavern is an open-pollinated heirloom that looks more like a bell pepper than a tomato. The 8-ounce fruit is red with gold striping and, once cut open, is mostly hollow with only a small cluster of seeds inside. That structure is exactly what makes it worth growing: the shells hold a filling well, so it is a natural choice for stuffed and baked dishes. It matures in the main season, so start seedlings indoors and give the plants the usual warm, sunny spot.
