I live in an apartment; there are no single-family houses around here.

I willingly accept that there is not an answer to this quandry that suits
me.

I love tomatoes. A lot. I would like to buy homegrown tomatoes
throughout
the summer...I like to eat about 2 per day...I am in S. Austin, near
IRS/VA,
and would prefer close-by. Please advise. Thank you.

He's a semi-troll, posting nonsense on Austin.food like "Austin can't
support more than one CM because only one of my friends has ever shopped
there."

If he *really* wanted homegrown tomatoes he'd either grow them in a pot,
frequent the farmers' markets, sign up for a community garden plot, or
befriend a neighbor who gardens or who would "loan" him a plot - or any and
all of the above.

However, if he wanted to play the troll, he'd post an imperious demand on
austin.gardening then get spitty and insulting as he shot down helpful ideas
one by one.

I'll leave the deciphering of his true motives as an exercise for the
reader. G

I know Central Market North sells what they advertise as "homegrown
tomatoes". They also have a wide selection of heirloom tomatoes. So he
could actually buy what he wants quite easily albeit for $$. I presume
the South Central Market has the same inventory but have never set foot
there.
