This may belong on the Rant thread, but I'll do it here where there are people who could sympathize.

When I was a boy in the '50s & '60s, I'd eat a juicy tomato as I watched TV. Just loved them.

The tomatoes in the stores are developed to be machine picked. My childhood tomatoes could never have been machine picked.

I've noticed NO improvement in the so called "organic" tomatoes either. They're all thicked walled with thickened inner partitions. Lord knows what kind are bread bred for tomato juice (which, strangely, I hate).

Everything that I've tried to grow, dies, and there's no hope left in me for a good tomato.
