I've been hooked on homegrown since a kid, used to pick grandma's cherry tomatoes, cut in half, and eat with mayo S&P. And BLT with dandelion greens from the yard... haha. I usually opted for the lettuce tho.

Right, then you get it when I talk about the flesh crystallizing with sugars ...
Â
So fucking good ...
Â
Not something they get when they gas the green maters ...
Â
There's definitely something to be said for vine ripening!!!

Anyway home grown are always better... the salad looks good enuf to me.
Ruskin tomatoes are a thing ...
Â
They are more dear to me than San Marzano's ...
Â
No shade towards SM's, but you can spoof them more readily with a little sugar, than the Ruskin's - which you can't really spoof, because it's a turgidity thing ...
Â
They spritz when you eat them, like similarly crystalized watermelon ...
Â
I've heard of people running needle with thread dipped in corn syrup through marijuana trunks to add sugars ... maybe someone should try to get some corn syrup into a beefsteak mater ...
Â
lulz ...
Â
I'm not doing it ..................................................... .because I've got a half-dozen Ruskin tomatoes in my bowl, LOL ...
Â
TC will tell you Jersey maters are a thing too.

Yes, and I've had many ... but we didn't ask my family to send us those, and we sent crates of grapefruits and Ruskin tomatoes up to family growing up, LOL ...
Â
I hear, through, I think from Ashen - there's some maters for making Italian from Jersey that are supposed to be better than SM's for making gravy ...
Â
Yeah, that ... in my Amazon save-for-later ...
Tomato Magic version, though ...
I have to step up my tomato game this growing season. Tomatoes have been a challenge for me to grow in the past. Â

Thanks man! I dig.
Down draft ... must be a places-with-basement thing!
Thanks, glad I waited, this replaced the previous model of same version but is about 300% better. The only before this had so many crappy reviews and they took all the feedback and put it into this model.ÂThe Hot Pepper said:
I saw that... but I like the glass/gas combo so will look at this type...grantmichaels said:
