Grow your own! It's the easiest fruit to grow. Add a dash of potassium, sodium, or ammonium nitrate to the soil and they do they're thing. You get softball-sized ones. Lowry's Seasoned salt and black pepper are all you need. Just hose them off before plucking. That is addictive. Sweet, salty, and peppery. And O.D. on vitamin C so you pee a lot.

The reason you don't see the big ones at your local supermarket is because they are shipped to where they get the biggest $.

Salmonella is not a plant disease.

Just sprayed my tomato’s with “Messenger” yesterday, today I’m getting out the epsom salt solution and giving them a good spray.

Epsom salt prevents blossom drop and adds sodium for bigger tomato’s. I tried it last year on my hot peppers and they were huge!
