All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Oh they certainly do, once you've had homegrown, store bought will forever taste bland. And there's such crazy variety, some are intensely sweet, others tart or savory.

Is there any variety you recommend for its taste in case I ever decide to grow my own tomatoes? I'd never seen as many different ones as in your picture lol. I'll eat tomato mostly in salads. Also, I live in Southern Europe so our weather should be pretty similar to SoCal.
