All year round tomatoes are gonna have to be GM'd...are they not?


No, when climate conditions are right,staggered planting can provide
that (even under artificial heat and light). Year-round tomatoes were in
UK supermarkets decades before genetic modifications.


However, the modern supermarket varieties are bred to not ripen
normally, and with other characteristics that make snapdragon
genes almost a welcome addition! I didn't notice a claim about
their taste.
