@Lovealotkennelregd Well said, don't expect much more than sanctimonious flip flap from these professional "youtube gardeners". Many simultaneously complain about mass starvation and mass production as if no correlation exists between the two! I doubt seriously that they have green thumbs, let alone opposable thumbs. :) Dear You TUBERS(couch potatoes), Before you send me any vitriolic responses, please note that I grow exclusively organic, local, farm to table produce (inside greenhouses).

Obviously a lot of the comments here are from NON farming /Non growers, greenhouse gardening is the ONLY way to go in OFF season, if you payed attention to what is being said you would know that these are VINE ripened, so they do have the flavor, as for the critical comments populations are growing and feeding the masses requires year round growing. I am a farmer, and I enjoy the videos, one s knowledge can be expanded by the great ideas and techniques of others endeavors, thanks for the video.

I agree with you -the truth can be offensive.

Have you ever tasted a tomato grown in Spain under open sky? Those tomatoes don't wait months for customer on the shelf- they just don't make it. And whenever I start such conversation with a business (barely can call those people farmers) who grows tomato using hydroponic - I only hear as argument- 'this is what customer wants etc'. You know what I did- I just stopped buying US grown tomatoes. No tasty tomato can be grown in greenhouse.

@PaucarinaTours If that is what you think of greenhouse tomatos, all I can say is wherever you have found that, they are doing it wrong. As for your blanket statement about Americans, I personally find it offensive.

the problem with greenhouse vegetables is - it is all tasteless and watery.

It's typical for Americans to grow something good looking tasteless for cheap and in big amounts.
