Tastes are funny I never liked raw tomatoes until I turned 45 then all the sudden I really like them go figure
I disliked them as a kid
then when I was about 22-23 at our first house wife was pregnant and sleeping all summer it seemed I had a nice garden and nothing but time every evening while she was sleeping to work on it I grew some and they were so good I was changed home grown maters in peak of season are good stuff
I will eat the sad 1/2 green tomater on a salad at a restaurant now but , just nothing the same like they are two different fruits.
I might not have grown any but a neighbor stopped over he got tomato starts in a bundle of like 25 little bare root plants and he didn't have room for them all so he gave me several.
at one time I had over 100 tomato plants in a season 30 was most years
I cut way back now having to not eat too many and have about 10 plants , making lots of sauce is a lot of carbs I don't need.
