Lovely Berkeley Tie Dye- top right, what is this that is cut open? I am growing mostly Brads next year again

My husband bought me three tomatoes from Aldi, and I never did eat them. Not worth the trauma I would go through from those things touching my tongue
Luckily I got two more ripe toms off my Burgess plant today

Raybo, you tease!

Filmnet,

That one was a Berkeley Tie-Dye Pink.

Lakelady, even if Silvery Fir Tree doesn't taste GREAT it'll probably be better than the store bought ones. Plus, I think tomatoes that you grow yourself automatically taste better, because you know you grew it from a tiny seed. if that makes any sense.

My dwarf project dwarf seeds I ordered should come from
Tatiana today, yay!!!

You might try looking in out of the way places. By that I mean non-chain stores.

We have a hardware store on the edge of town called The Other Other Place. It has all the usual things you'd find in a Home Depot or Lowes, but they'll sell you a single nut or bolt or cut 20' of plastic from a 100' roll for you and they have a small produce section (10' x 12').

I live in a small town (3500) and some people don't know about their produce and others wouldn't buy produce from a hardware store, but they have vine ripened tomatoes with good to great flavor year round at a very reasonable price. I bought the ones in the photo Monday for $1.09 a pound. There were six, but someone ate 3 of them. I just can't seem to get that tomato sanwich monkey off my back. The Other Other Place tomatoes will do until the ones on the vine ripen.

The store may not be fancy, but it's like people, it's what's on the inside that counts. Claud
