Hot house tomatoes, or tomatoes grown in good old fashioned manure?

good old fashioned manure! Hot house maters just don't have the same taste.

Depends on the strain. I think so many supermarket tomatoes taste crappy because they've been bred to be more resistant to parasites and vermin.

Certainly vine-ripened tomatoes are vastly superior to the prematurely harvested ones, although I have noticed you can put these on the windowsill and let them ripen a bit and it will give them slightly more flavor.

I would not give ya a nickle for a hot house mater,,,but I have maybe 40 "better Boy" and "Celebraty" (sp) Plants, in my garden now. I can them, and make salsa, I eat the rest,,,,

none. lol. i am not a tomato fan. Although i have a tomato topsy-turvey for my husband.

speaking of which i am really wondering if i am going to get ANYTHING out of all these plants. I think it may just be too hot and dry this year for them to thrive enough to give me anything. sad.

I hadn't give it much thought, to be honest. I like tomatoes in general.

In sandwiches, in salads, in sauces.

I guess I'm not picky.

No comparison. A home grown tomato beats out hot house all the time.

old fashioned home grown. I never buy them from the grocery store, they have no flavor so why bother. I don't plant them anymore since I'm the only one here who eats them so I make my weekly trip to our local Farmer's Market that opens this week. Yeah! Partner has a huge garden, he plants all kinds of veggies and fruits.

Home grown is best for sure. My Roma tomatoes (for salsa) are doing really good this year. Supermarket produce in general sucks lately. I think they pick everything way too soon.

WIll do, ibom. As soon as you send me your mango salsa recipe. Will you be eating those tomatoes with your Arby's roast beef? LOL

They have a local greenhouse here called backyard farms and they have the growing of a tomato down to a science. They sell vine ripened tomatoes in all the local stores. They come the closest in taste to one grown in good fertile dirt but I would still rather have the ones grown outdoors in cow manure!

I don't use cow manure, but the tomatoes I have gotten so far this year are very sweet and juicy.
I love eating the cherry tomatoes right off the vine. And make tomato salad with the big ones. Just tomatoes, basil, olive oil, a little salt and garlic.. Then boona (botched up Italian for dunking) the Italian bread into the tomatoes.. That is heaven to me.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
