Have you tried the vine-ripened tomatoes that are sold on a bit of their own vine? I see them packed in mesh, usually three, maybe four or five, on one vine. I bought some earlier this year that were from the Netherlands, and then I bought some a couple of weeks ago that were from, I think, Utah. Both sets were delicious, and I feasted on tomato sandwiches. French bread, lots of Hellman's mayo. They are expensive, of course, on a relative basis (relative to the nasty tomatoes), but not on an absolute basis (think of them as being an exotic fruit, which they are), maybe $4 a pound.

Edwarda, I grew tomatoes in the city. You don't need all that much space and can grow patios in pots pretty successfully. I ate a couple tomatoes fresh off of the vine, and still warm from the sun, today. Yummy, even those $4 a pound ones can't compare.
