I really enjoy vine ripened tomatoes.
They are so much better than the green house that are available at other times.
A neighbor that just past away use to have a big truck patch. He sold produce out of his garage. I'd barter him sawdust for stuff. He'd send over heirloon tomatoes. Most were deformed but still perfectly good.
One time Mary bought a bushel of tomatoes in season. We stored them in a spare refrigerator. Hot and thirsty I went and got one and started eating one. You'd a thought it broke some rule of eating edict. But soon one by one got one out to enjoy.
