Home grown tomatoes taste so much better than store bought. A couple weeks ago I bought some beautiful tomatoes from the store to make a tomato sandwich. They were a big disappointment. Absolutely no flavor. Today I picked my first home grown of the year. It was sweet and delicious. Tomorrow I am making me a tomatoe sandwich.

Full of GMO's, that's what you get. Same with Corn, etc...

They do not have your best interest in mind. I don't care what anyone else thinks.

Yeah produce is sure iffy nowadays, the tomatoes really are yucky mostly and bananas are green when you get them, but ya can't eat em fast enough before they get too ripe, then just make banana bread.

Cucumbers, pineapple are the same they start to ruin fast the minute ya bring em home uuughh

I gotta get my garden started PDQ

Do you know an easy way to turn a tomato red? Show it the salad dressing.

No? How about this one? A woman was told that if she walked naked through her garden once a day, her tomatoes would turn red. It didn't work but the cucumbers got enormous.

Tap tap tap. Is this mic on? Tough crowd . . .

Hey SkurferGurl, how you been? This year my garden was late too. When we had the 100° plus weather most of my plans fried. Fortunately a couple came up late then something ate one. I bought a couple of plants from Home Depot. Hopefully I'll do better next year.

I'm taking your advice and letting it grow a bit more.

Lots of green tomatoes, The concord grapes are ripe, but only a few. This batch of bananas are almost ripe. The Velinca oranges are delicious. The tangerines and avacados won't be ripe until December. The plums are gone already.

🍅 “The Tomato That Took the Stand” (Raunchy Dry Satire Edition)

The courtroom was tense.
Trump stood at the podium like a tanning bed with debt.
Enter: the Tomato. Thick-skinned. Juicy. Redder than Mar-a-Lago’s unpaid taxes.

Judge: “State your name.”
Tomato: “T. O. Mato — I grow on the left, sir.”
Trump: “Liar. Plant. Vegetable hoax.”

Tomato adjusted its vine, flicked a seed at Rudy Giuliani, who was melting quietly in the corner.
“I’m here,” it said, “because this man tried to squeeze me into ketchup and call it a policy.”

The jury gasped. A baby carrot passed out.
Trump grunted: “I prefer my tomatoes firm. And silent. Like my prenups.”

Then he looked deep into the tomato’s core and whispered:
“We could’ve been a Big Mac.”

Tomato sighed, tired of being chopped, sauced, and gaslit.
“I’d rather rot in a compost heap than be your condiment, Don.”

Outside, Fox News declared the tomato “a globalist fruit-puppet.”
Inside, Trump tried to build a wall around the salad bar.

Why did the tomato file a restraining order against Trump?
Because it caught him whispering, “Let me put you on a burger and make America taste great again,” while shirtless in a McDonald’s parking lot. 🍅🍔🧢
