    I’m always sad when tomatoes season ends. IMO tomatoes are the singular item with the biggest difference between grocery store and local heirloom ones. It’s like night and day.

      Tomatoes for selling are hardier varieties to hold up to the impacts of shipping, they are also picked unripe and ripen in transit.

      The only way to get good tomatoes is grow them yourself or hit up a farmers market.
