Grocery Store Tomato type
Comments (5)Well, it's not quite that simple. "Store bought tomatoes" is very vague. My local market carries Romas, Cherry tomatoes, and several other varieties. Now Roma tomatoes are oblong, not round. Roma's are determinate. Cherry tomatoes, indeterminate. The "big round" tomatoes, I have no clue about since in not even sure what variety they are. But with a little research, you could narrow it down a bit. If you have the produce sticker still, you could try googling the code and see what you find....See MoreHow to Turn a Grocery Store Tomato into a Plant ASAP
Comments (39)Some of us like to learn how to do things in more efficient, controllable, repeatable ways. It wasn't some kind of ordeal for me to learn how to do things properly--it was great fun. If you're the kind of person who gets joy out of growing mystery unstablized tomatoes from your compost scraps and don't mind taking the risks that come with not fermenting seed, then all power to you--whatever gives you joy. But don't make it out as though experienced people on here who try to teach others best practices and point out realities such as the fact that you might get a dud from the offspring of a hybrid commercial tomato or that some varieties don't do well in some places or that tomatoes need time and care to produce *optimally* are sucking the joy out of anything for anyone. They're just trying to give people a way to maximize their harvests, avoid diseases, and avoid unwanted genetic surprises in their tomatoes. People are free to learn from their advice or not--nobody is sending in stormtroopers to arrest them for using compost to start plants. I don't always follow everyone's advice here, but I do appreciate that they take the time to give it....See MoreIs it silly? Growing out Grocery Store Toms....Kumato
Comments (38)Hi Vivian! Sorry for the late reply. I just kept my seeds in a sealed envelope. I did not expect any germination, but surprisingly all of it did. This year i have more space so i figured i grow them again as my wife liked the Russo Bruno for her cooking. Most of the stuff we grow now are heirlooms but like many have posted the vigor and production on the Russo Bruno is pretty impressive. The first time i grew it (in the picture) was in our balcony and we only had maybe 6 hrs of sunlight....See MoreWhat did you buy this week at the grocery stores/stores
Comments (22)I still had lots of food in the house, but DH told me to go ahead and stock up since he'll probably be on the road for 5-6 weeks this time and the immediate future of our para-transit sytem is iffy at best right now due to budget cuts. (We won't know its fate until March 19. On the 22nd, we'll either have it or it's immediately gone.) So, hey, I'm no dummy. I stocked up. Trader Joes - greek yogurt eggs Cheddar cheese bacon almonds frozen haibut frozen green beans frozen mixed veggies frozen mixed peppers frozen naan butter canned diced tomatos quinoa mustard Regular Grocery Store bread Tortillas raisins black beans lentils canned tuna (my lucky day - albacore at .79 a can!) 5# chicken breasts (on sale at .99 a pound!) 2# pork bag of baking potaotes 2 cucumbers 3 onions 2 gree peppers # asparagas quart strawberries 1/2 gal milk canned mixed fruit # bananas # mushrooms garlic limes flour olive oil freezer bags pinto beans # coffee 2 boxes tea bags On the clearance shelf, we found organic pommegranate juice, V8, cherry juice and peanuts for $1.00 eash. The store isn't going to carry them anymore. So we got two each of those. And I had coupons for two free bottles of laundry soap that expire at the end of the month, so I got those now. Total - too much. OTOH, I'm set for another 4-5 weeks except highly perishable items like lettuce or milk. (Althogh I have some canned milk if I really need it.) That doesn't include the things we get for DH to take on the road as I consider his road supplies separate from my grocery budget....See Moredigdirt2
