    In my experience tasteless ones.
  • I wonder whether commercial tomatoes are tasteless because of the way they are stored and transported rather that because of the variety. I don't eat tomatoes but OH says that our home grown ones are much tastier picked directly compared to any that have been picked and then stored for a day or two.

    I don't know about commercial tomato growing but it might be difficult to emulate at home because they will have lots of expensive equipment for keeping the light/heat/watering just right which you probably wouldn't be able to do at home.
