Summer Doldrums Do Not have to be Bad #momentsintime

As we transition to a life at sea aboard “Moments in Time”, there will be some things I will truly miss from land life. One of the top things will be my garden. I start craving tomatoes as soon as my previous crop dies off from the frost. You cannot purchase a good tomato anymore. Even greenhouse tomatoes are not the same. Most modern tomatoes are hybrids, with traits that are genetically modified for uniform color, uniform shape, ability to be picked green, and yes, to rot from the inside on the shelf, all commercial attributes for shipping and selling, taste never figures into the commercial attributes. Of course, they will tell you that it tastes good, but in reality, they taste like crap. I try to plant only heirloom tomatoes. These are the only tomatoes that are naturally selected over centuries for taste. They might be white, green, rainbow, black, purple, orange, yellow, and of course red, but they all taste great. WARNING: If you eat an heirloom tomato, you will no longer be able to eat a grocery store tomato. But it is OK to be a tomato snob 😊 Feel free to comment and let us know your thoughts.
