This year we planted three varieties of tomatoes in zone 5. All were
slow to fruit and develop, but we are now harvesting. I noticed that all of the ones we have eaten have very tough skins. What would cause this? |

What would cause this? Ah ha! They are genetically modified, with the SprMrkt#5 gene, it is transferred from a walrus.
