Growing Tomatoes

Pucker Up !

12 years ago

My Patio tomato has had a couple of ripe ones. I do like tangy, beefsteak-y flavor in my tomatoes but sheesh these are almost SOUR. I've been super lazy about watering, often grabbing the hose in the nick of time. Could dryness be causing the sourness?

probably you sliced them too early ?. Let some stand/sit for a while and then see what happens. This can be done both on and off the vine. IMO, color alone might not be the sole indication of ripeness.
