Tomatoes ...

[jwyblejr]

anybody every try the upside down tomato plant sold on TV commercials ?

I did and I couldn't get anything to grow. I even used Miracle Gro. Someone must know what the secret is. Someone in the next town over from me had a tomato plant in one and it was all the way to the ground.

I am in the I Don't like Tomatoes club lol,it's funny cause I like Tomato Soup,Ketchup,Bruschetta and Salsa but can't bring myself to eat one.(Weird i know)

I am the same with Cherries and Strawberries too,like the flavour but just can't eat the darn things.

Same here about hating tomatoes, but liking ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and even tomato paste. It is most definitely not a flavor thing, but a texture thing. And there is no amount of pepper that will change the texture of a tomato.

That's weird, because that's exactly how I became a tomato lover overnight.

that thing is a piece of crap. Grow them in a pot with lots of good compost. Just stake em up.

I am confused; How does pepper change the texture?

(Edited to add a p.s.)
You actually made me go into my kitchen and sprinkle pepper on a tomato. Almost ten minutes later, and the tomato is still the same icky texture.

The upside-down planters work great. But you can make better ones with 5 gallon buckets.

Try at a flea market. You can usually get them cheap there.

I Heart Tomatoes. I love ketchup like nobodys buisness. It actually took me awhile before I realized tomatoes were the joint. I love making Bruschetta and putting tomaoes on my salad. I've seen the light and I'm much happier for that.
