Re: Trying to wait for Summer!!! - Trixxee - 02-01-2015 I have been buying some beautiful, large heirloom tomatoes at the grocery store. I don't know where they are grown but they are delicious. Re: Trying to wait for Summer!!! - cjs - 02-01-2015 darn you guys!!! Re: Trying to wait for Summer!!! - foodfiend - 02-01-2015 I agree! No matter which variety I buy, winter tomatoes taste like cardboard. But this recipe is going in my file to try with the first Arkansas tomatoes in... July... *whine* Re: Trying to wait for Summer!!! - Harborwitch - 02-02-2015 That does look amazing. I just refuse to buy cardboard tomatoes this time of year. I did get a few Romas the other day (I'm sure they're from Mexico) that weren't too bad, but prices were crazy. Re: Trying to wait for Summer!!! - Lorraine - 02-04-2015 Sharon, I understand what you are saying, but my tomatoes are great.
