That's why we grow all of our own vegetables.
The greenish tomatoes look like heirlooms and the red ones look like they
were ripened on the vine - two things that are not common in most grocery
store tomatoes. Even the farmer's market a mile away seems to grow
tomatoes that they can pick green and ripen artificially and those that
store and ship well. That's why they have no taste!! Our tomatoes are all
heirlooms and they are not picked until they are ripe and warm from the
sun. There is nothing like them.
Love your market photos!
