So true. Mine are about 4-6 weeks away.

I have bought grocery store organic tomatoes, and "regular" tomatoes. Can't tell the difference. Both marginally adequate at best.

Yikes! I may think about planting mine in the next week or two. Harvest will be late August through October, if I'm lucky.

I just ate an organic tomato with my dinner. That's what the package said. I'm just wondering what an inorganic tomato tastes like? Or do organic tomatoes just cost more?

If it really was grown organically you just ate a tomato withOUT pesticides, fungicides, etc., etc. :C

If you bought a tomato or any food with THIS sticker on it the jokes on us because they really are NOT 100% organic.

Just a scam the gov dreamed up to try get back the revenue they are loosing from all the consumers who decided they have had enough of chemicals in their foods and started buying REAL organic foods.

My local grocery was proudly bragging about a new organic veg section. I asked one of the stock people where the inorganic veg were, they didn't get the joke.

I sometimes buy the organic tomato, their skin is just as thick and flesh just as tasteless as any regular tomato... but they do leave them on the vine, and they helps em stay fresh a few days longer I've noticed.

I wonder if they still treat organic tomato with ethylene gas to make the skin turn red, like they do for the regular mass produced ones.
