Leslie,

I agree with your post regarding commercially grown greenhouse tomatoes. In the winter we mostly do not buy packaged tomatoes. The last thing the growers consider is taste. There are tomatoes from Canada greenhouses called Campari tomatoes that are excellent. I have some seeds, but I am not sure if they are hybrids or not. I usually grow Florida Petite tomatoes indoors under LEDs in the winter. Another reason for five to the truss is to hasten the ripening process. Hopefully, I will have tomatoes before the end of the month.
