Well guess I am all set..got 120 plants growing inside.. Roma, Summer Pik and Mountain variety.. I still need a cherry tomato plant for Jon. He only likes those. I only like cooked tomato sauce or tomato on BLT etc. I got several folks at work who will be buying my plants... I have too many but hey they were a decent price on Ebay.. I only wanted 3 types but knew several individuals like to get plants and at $5 a pop at local nursery is just too much money. So for the next 2 weeks will be keeping my plants alive until new homes...

That news was very disturbing to me. It's not only tomatoes, it's a ton of other items but tomatoes is such a common and much eaten item that everyone can relate to it. An entire cuisine is practically built around tomatoes for cripes sake. Say farewell to your local corner mom and pop Italian restaurant/pizzeria if this happens. Way to go commander in chief.

Personally, I suspect anyone who doesn't love tomatoes. Just sayin'. :insertevillaugh:
One of my best online friendships was with a man who grew tomatoes. He also loved cats. He was "America's oldest blogger" and had webcams up on his land, which was certified as a Wildlife Habitat. He was an amazing person.

Tomato Prices Could Increase By 85 Percent As a Result of Trump Administration’s New Policy
"From May through December, the economists predicted that consumers could pay up to 40 percent more for the products, while during the colder months of the year — when tomatoes are primarily only grown in the U.S. by Florida — the price could skyrocket to an 85 percent increase."

Gee. Thanks so much.

We'll be planting more tomato plants this year.
Oh, for election time!!! :livid:

I like them raw. I'm just not crazy about them cooked. Especially if they are chunky.

I'll eat...barbecue sauce?

Yeah...no marinara, no ketchup, no raw or cooked tomatoes. I don't like normal pizza sauce. I'm about as suspect as you get. ;)

But I also pretty much kill everything I try to grow, so there's another reason it's good I don't need to grow them.

I'm with you on the ketchup, Lari Lari . I won't even say how much I loathe that.

I am allergic to them, so I check package labels for any type of tomato products. You would be shocked at how many things have tomato paste or tomato powder in them!

Oh, that's really too bad, Elphaba09 Elphaba09 ! Tomatoes love me, but I break out in hives when I eat hot dog buns and apple fritters. So I don't. I stick to tomatoes. ;)
