Some things you buy in the store don’t even taste remotely like what you grow. Tomatoes are night and day difference. They pick them green for travel robustness, and “ripen” then with ethylene, so you’re eating a red but unripe tomatoes.
Strawberries are another one. Do yourself a favor and get some ripe strawberries locally sometime. They’re nothing like that Drischoll’s stuff in the stores!
- cultofmetatron 6y agoCurrently in Greece and the strawberries here are not only pretty but extremely flavorful. I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy the American supermarket shietberry after trying the good stuff over here.
