paid 3.59 a pound for homegrown yesterday.

Wow, I have thrown no substances on mine, and if I recall we may have paid $10 for the plants, all 4 not per. I only watered once a week at most even during drought conditions. I could sell all we have for $1.99 shipping included and make a nice profit. Hell next year I am planting 30 or 40 plants and going online. Cripes I think I maybe serious. I'll have to look into laws for food. Again, WOW. money in the bank.

if someone were able to perfect a method to ship vine ripened tomatoes you could become rich. all the tomatoes in stores are shipped green and ripen on the way. that is why they have no taste.

I can't do the learning for you FT, you'll have to do the research yourself, or you can stay the antithesis to Dr OZ, both wrong in your extremes.

My understanding has been that store tomatoes at the big stores have been gentically altered so when they are in the store they are red and pretty, but this process sacrificed taste and flavor.

GMO tomatoes dont exist in North America and are illegal in Europe.

Never looked into it much, does hydroponic farming benefit from the ability to set up a farm anywhere ( indoor large buildings ), bringing the product closer to the consumer while reducing long transport, and possibly a little more ripened at time of sale ?
I have seen an interview with a rooftop farmer in NYC. They are growing farms on large , structurally sound, building rooftops and supplying the product to local restaurants and businesses.

Huh, you got me, I brought it up as I read a story about this just recently. I thought the idea was they cross bred different types to have ones that looked pretty in the stores and appealed to the customer. I guess that may not be technically genetic altering.
