    The death of tasty tomatoes in North America drives me nuts. The ones in our garden are intense!

    The apple industry figured it out - marketing new varieties for flavour, crispness, etc. Why can’t the tomato industry?

      Same for citrus. I pulled an orange from a tree a few months back and it nearly brought tears to my eyes when I first tasted it. Unreal. I didn’t stop eating them until my stomach hurt. Worth it. 🤣

        Easier said than done in a Canadian winter ;)

        But I agree. There’s some local greenhouses producing smaller volumes here year-round now. So it’s improving.
