If you chew one long enough, not recommended, you can taste the skin.

Folks, what's wrong with your palate or conditions. Over here, PPO was a thundering success, everyone who tasted it was sold out, including my mom and neighbors...

Here, it could be my conditions.



The majority of cherry, red, and orange tomatoes are bland tasting, coming from my garden. Pinks, hearts (of any color), blacks, greens, etc...are usually full flavored, even though I might despise the flavor (of most black and green tomatoes).


The pH of my garden soil is likely about 5.5, which possibly could be a contributing factor.

My soil is from a bag and I grow all tomatoes in containers... with amendments and natural ferts every variety usually has flavor - except last summer, when the heat wave really messed up the process
Hopefully, this season will be back to normal again, no hot/cold games!
