A tomato that a person would find at the grocery store will not taste good, store bought tomatoes are breed to have thick skin so they do not bruise, but it eliminates almost all of the flavor and makes them mealy. A homegrown tomato does not even taste the same as the ones in the grocery store. After eating a tomato grown yourself you will not even be able to eat a store bough one. Originally most of the tomatoes looked more like the ones in the video, not the same size of course.

@nixxi1980 our food is engineered to look larger and appetizing with added hormones and chemicals in the grocery stores...If you wanted normal fruits and veggies with organic matter you would be shocked and not find them appetizing because you are used to what is considered the norm which is not healthy.

I have several "first' tomatoes" of the Pink German Johnson which are fused, and they are all going to taste wonderful despite that they look weird. They don't have to look good to taste good.

Thanks for posting this. I bet those taste wonderful!!! Nothing like home grown.

For those of you who think those look awful, that's because your used eating that "Plastic" perfectly round crap they call tomatoes in grocery stores. Maybe it's because of those "plastic" looking and tasting fruits and vegetables grown today why we have so much cancer in our society???

Those are the kind of tomatos that wind up being used as 'sun dried tomatoes'. IMHO, there's no such thing as a BAD homegrown tomato. They all have a use!

This is the best and most informative video that I've seen so far for growing tomatoes on youtube. I am a newbie gardner and looking for good and relevant information. This video was super helpful. It's also encouraging, because I'm growing an Old German heirloom this year, and it's got some fused blossoms forming already! Hopefully I'll get a decent sized mater or two off of it.
