That’s right up there also...People who haven’t put pepper on a cucumber don’t know what they’re missing...
For super sweet tomatoes, add a little Jersey Greensand and/or rock dust under them when you transplant.
This storie’s author must just eat tomatoes from grocery stores. If you grow your own, take care of them properly, they are great. Grow some peppers and lettuace, with baby peas, etc. Salad can be the main course. Fresh vegetables can be grown in flower boxes. Some people just don’t put in a little time.
"...all about cucumbers..."

Yes, indeed, the commercial producers cannot replicate the taste of the real thing. We can tell! Couple years back, a gal gave me a bag of homegrown tomatoes that I made spaghetti sauce out of them. So good, yum!
You ought to travel to Taiwan and taste homegrown, picked ripe pineapples. About the same difference between store bought and homegrown tomatoes.
I put up 71 jars of tomato juice last summer and dang it sure tastes good.
Getting hungry now- gonna heat up some homemade tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Might get a jalapeno out of the freezer to put on the sandwich.
We have that, it’s called Salsa

Try not to knock a vegetable, our current Speaker of the House imitates one on camera all the time. I tend to agree though I’m more the pinto beans and ham hocks myself. Did I mention baking powder biscuits with that?
Richard Feynman (0n the beauty of evolution ...
Deep in the sea, all molecules repeat the patterns of one another till complex new ones are formed. They make others like themselves . . . and a new dance starts.
Growing in size and complexity . . . living things, masses of atoms, DNA, protein . . . dancing a pattern ever more intricate.
Out of the cradle onto the dry land . . . here it is standing . . . atoms with consciousness . . . matter with curiosity.
” If they could do that commercially they’d really get rich. “
They can but would never survive the trip.
So, juicy ya hafta eat it at the sink.
