Rainbow tomatoes.
Well, as usual, the weather guessers got it wrong. Today was supposed to be a high of 66 degrees, however, at 4pm it was 80, and as I type this at 7:43pm it is still 74. Wonder if they got fired?
Weather forecast in SF, is the easiest job. Same thing. Every day. Early morning fog, clearing into afternoon sunshine. High of 65. Low of 55. Slight chance of unexpected showers. Keep your umbrella and a jacket handy.
Rainbow tomatoes.
I am fairly certain that those are "tomato on the vine" tomato. They look just like the tomato I buy from a local store. A Canadian company grows them in Mexico. It is a hybrid, engineered to grow without soil or sun, indoors, with hydroponics and grow lamps. I eat the tomato, then scrape the seeds from the cutting board and dump them in the yard. Now the seeds from those hybrid tomato have to grow in my yard, in real soil, with real sun.
The package is labeled with a Canadian company's brand name,. It says that it's grown in Mexico, and grown in green houses. The company's website says that they are "Avalantino". A web search finds "Avalantino" from a company in The Netherlands, and the company says, "Enza Zaden develops new vegetable varieties that are grown, sold and consumed all over the world."
So the fruit I buy is grown from a hybrid seed. Now I have the second generation, which is an unknown. And as there are several different types of tomato growing in the yard, who knows what could happen next if they cross pollinate. Maybe a genetic mutation could occur, and I'll get superpowers........What kind of superhero can I become with enhanced tomato powers? I'll let you guys know if I start wearing spandex suits, with my underpants on the outside, and a cape.
There are a lot of things you don't see around anymore. My dad had a 1957 Chevy four door sedan. My brother and I used to take turns riding on the "package shelf" right next to the rear window. No seat belts, nothing. We were 3 and 4 at the time. Later when we were preteens, we had a friend who
s father owned a 63 Chevy C10 pickup. We always rode in the pickup bed. Of course, it was legal back then. In TV people used to smoke cigarettes all the time, don't see that anymore.
