I do love tomatoes, but they are running around $1.59 per lb.
Some nice big ones were on for $.98 per lb. today, but they do not have
anywhere _near_ the flavor of home grown......

Yes, stores sell something called a tomatoe, but it bears no resemble
to the tomatoes grow in my garden

I also notice that so called "roadside stands" are also starting to
sell this pale looking baseball like "tomatoe" thingy, and cost more
then at the store, what's up with that?
