[...] I ever mentioned on this blog how much I hate grape tomatoes? I have, for years, hated them with a passion after eating, once too often, the Bad Grape Tomato. [...]

Katie, I’m proud of you (and a bit jealous) for making the tomato plant situation happen for yourself — even with all the move upheaval!

They’re banning tomatoes?????
Can they do that?????
OMG. Life as we know it coming to a screeching halt!
I can’t have my garden this year – moving and all, but I dug 5 holes in the lawn by my kitchen and stuck in tomato plants. I mean, there are just some things a girl can’t live without.
I hope you find some nice reliable farmers…

Nezza, apparently the cell structure can draw the bacteria up into the plant through the stem scar. Bizarre, huh?

Salmonella in tomatoes?! Wow… I’d not heard of that over here. How on earth…? I don’t understand that one.

I spotted my first tomato in my greenhouse yesterday. It’s currently the size of a pea so I’m not going to get too excited just yet.

Kalyn, I know — I was thinking of you with all this and that you’re such a big fan of those. I definitely buy those when I need tomatoes in winter and have no other option, but I still try to just stay out of the tomato business if the season isn’t happening.

Katie, it’s too bad more people can’t hold the line on that — I think the world would be a happier place! :-)

Damn straight – good for you! I refuse to eat tomatoes from anywhere but my garden or locally grown at the farmer’s market. Anything else just isn’t…a tomato (unless it’s in salsa).

I was relieved to see that the on-the-vine tomatoes were not a culprit, since those are about the only ones I ever buy (from Costco, and they aren’t bad at all.)
