I chose the beefy because the were from much closer to home. After planting several tomatoe plants a couple months ago, one has produced one single lone Green tomatoe to date. Over the past couple weeks I have found myself staring at it willing it to hurry and ripen!I remember that painting - always wanted it.....I never realized what a staple tomatoes are to my weekly menus until now! I love the wet chicken story.mixedmilkFri, 20 Jun 2008 16:57:27 -0000http://nmindependent.disqus.com/a_vigilant_vegetarian_suddenly_ponders_food_safety_74/#comment-2501954I purchased tomatoes at a local retailer grocery outlet today (you don't even want to know which one - would spur on a greater debate) and I had a choice of Roma on the Vine from Canada or Beefy from Arkansas.
