 Tomatoes
come in a wide range of fruit colors, sizes, shapes
and maturities.
Ripe
tomatoes may be red, yellow, orange, pink or even green.
Shapes
vary from globe or round to slightly flattened, pear-like
or cherry-sized.
Often
consumers complain tomatoes purchased in grocery stores
are lacking in flavor or have tough skin. In a home
garden, you can grow the tomatoes you prefer, including
a wide selection of fruit colors, flavors, textures
and sizes.
Tomatoes
and pumpkins are the two vegetables that we get the
most calls on in the fall.
