Also, THey sold out--new owners.
Still FAR better choices at WH than ANY store around here!!
We , US consumers, are now accustomed to eating this commercially produced food that is the foundation of nearly every grocery store. On many levels. Not that long ago, Organic used to be the only option.
I am looking a seed catalogs, and I chuckle when the notation is that a particular tomato is so fragile that it will barely make it to the kitchen; and others are recommended for market stands. Some tomatoes are too tender to survive much handling while other do much better. Of course the commercial tomatoes are picked at the hard green stage and ripen enroute to the stores.
Next year I plan to grow RED ROBIN. It is a tiny dwarf tomato plant that will do well in an 8" pot. It doesn't require as much light as other tomatoes so it will bloom and set fruit indoors. That is what I have researched, and will test it out. I tried growing regular tomatoes in the house last year but it became a jungle and they did not set flowers until spring. Yes, Months ahead of my outside garden but not in February like I wanted. THe Red RObin fruit is a large red/pink cherry tomato.
Harvested my first crop of greens a few days go and the greens are almost ready for another trimming already!!
Mung beans are srouting rather well now too!!
