[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 758796, member: 4362"] I think the main problem with the grocery store tomatoes is they are not vine ripened for shipping and storage reasons. If you were to pick your own from this field I doubt you'd choose what they will be packing. This is kinda off subject but I think its interesting. Ever wonder why you can buy apples at a grocer one week and they are just as crisp as they can be then the next week they taste like mush? When I was in the nursery business and we supplied a lot of fruit trees to some large outfits. I was told that apples were put into storage rooms and the atmosphere was controlled various ways to prevent ripening. Once the seal was broken they began to ripen. Those crisp ones you get out of season are the ones closest to the door. The mealy tasting ones are the ones in the back of the wharehouse and the last to ship - or so I was told. [/QUOTE]
