Hers were in large containers and mine were in the ground. She thought the flavor was FABULOUS and I thought they tasted like sugar water! <br /><br />If we had been smart, we would have gotten together with our tomatoes for a flavor comparison. It seems unlikely, though, that our taste buds were that far off in determining flavor. The difference in flavor was probably real, and I am guessing that it was a result of the difference in the soil.<br /><br />I wonder whether the people who develop crops for container growing take the flavor changes into account, or whether they are going mostly for size.Amy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14108368551894382300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134341373474313620.post-80499841724725925082010-06-13T15:58:23.175-04:002010-06-13T15:58:23.175-04:00Erin,

All my veggies are growing in containers and I will keep that in mind going forward.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816152901563469697noreply@blogger.com
