They do in my country.
What shithole are you from? The US?

>>15932210
They sell tomatoes on the vine in the US. They're almost always an inferior tomato but I buy them anyway because the smell of tomato vine is the greatest smell in the world.

>>15932210
Try harder, peasant. On the vine tomatoes are sold in about every grocery in the US.

>>15932238
Oh okay, thanks for clarifying

the kilo price would have to be a lot cheaper than tomatoes without vines as those things weigh too
i dont personally see the appeal, why do you want that? its not edible to my knowledge

>>15932251
The attached vine preserves the tomato, much like that nub on citrus fruits.

>>15932259
dunno fäm my tomatoes are fine for up to 2 weeks, or what i assume is up to 2 weeks as i dont think ive ever had tomatoes last that long without consooming them

>>15932207

They do, I'm from NJ and they sell tomates on the vine all the time.

>>15932279
brap me if ur a grill

>>15932207
In my country they do, because the stem smells like tomatoes, even when the tomatoes themselves are cheap off-season flavorless crap

>>15932298
And the smell makes them sell

>>15932207
These are even at Walmarts now, wu@

>>15932210
You guise are gonna make fun of me if i tell.

>>15932332
>You guise are gonna make fun of me if i tell.
Yes.

>not sneeding your own tomats

>>15932207
In Canada they come in bags, you can get stem or no stem bag tomato’s

>>15932358
Howto.

>>15932207
Some do, some don't. I get organics with the stems on personally.

>>15932207
They're sold in the UK too

>>15932557
Alternatively, dig a hole in the garden, chuck in a tomato. Done.

>>15932557
Nice. I will save seeds to plant next Spring. Thanks, Anon.

>>15932603
maybe, maybe not
that membrane is tricky business, you might not actually grow anything if the soil conditions aren't good enough to break it down and then randomly 3 years later you'll have a tomato plant growing in the yard

>>15932207
They do, it depends some stores do others dont

>>15932557
>>15932727
how has this plant not gone extinct yet
is it simply a product of humans breeding a mongrel species out of something that once maybe slightly resembled a tomato?

>>15932727
The how does it happen naturally?
Or did we fuck up the tomato plant when we domesticated it

>>15932699
you still have time if you move your tush
usually you want tomatoes in at the time of the last frost. you have time to get them started now, just get them into the ground before june and they should produce for you before summer is over

>>15932738
>>15932744
the fermentation process is what removes the gel. It's sort of like a time release capsule

if the ground conditions aren't good the gel wont ferment and therefore the seed wont germinate
this is done to keep the seeds viable so they can just chill surrounded by their protective jelly for a number of years until conditions are good enough to grow
basically nature is using the mechanism of fermentation to detect whether or not soil is rich enough to grow the fruit

pretty ingenious really

>>15932778
I see, that makes sense
A tamarido tree grew in front of my house, I think someone just threw a fruit there and it just grew

>>15932207
I dried last years tomatoes and Im still eating them.
I started a gorillian varieties of tomatoes and they are all doing well. Ready to be transplanted outside haha

>>15932794
>dried tomatoes
What do these even taste like?

>>15932746
>>15932778
>mfw i havent got plants or tilled the garden yet
Think ill do that this week and get things going. Problem is i need to get a bunch of garden soil since the area I use is getting tired

>>15932746
I’ve sowed another tornado plant ten days ago. Picrel has one row of tornadoes, one of bell peppers and another of cabuci pepper or whatever it’s called.

I realized they are leaning, but the cats dig on my seed tray if I don’t keep it indoors. I hope the plants don’t get too stressed. The seedlings appear to be healthy so far.

Not pictured are peas, mini cukes, and dill that I also started.

>>15932792
I think tamarind needs to get pooped out by something, you have monkeys or anything where you live?
otherwise someone took a shit on your lawn

that's the plan for the tomatoes too, tomatoes are one of those fruits that wants to get eaten so the animals can scatter the seeds around

>>15932810
Really tasty and sweet like dried fruit. They can be used on their own as a snack, or you can use them in cooking.
Here's a pic of them with some homemade duck pate and other sides for dipping.

>>15932810
You've never heard of sun dried tomatoes?

>>15932557
I got to the greenhouse literally a mile from my house and buy plants

>>15932847
Did you do it using an oven?

>>15932856
I used a food dehydrator. You can use a low oven or even the sun on a nice dry sunny day

>>15932557
Or, buy some seeds/a tomato plant and skip the autistic part.

>>15932880
Dude, planting from saved seed is so satisfying.

>>15932892
Sounds like a fun experiment but I'd rather not regrow the same crappy tomatoes they sell at the supermarket as my main producer.

>>15932344
I can count at least 3 supermarkets and many vegetable stores that sell tomatoes on the vine in my town
t. brazilian

>>15932914
As much as I think this guy is an autist fag im gonna defend him in saying the reason supermarket tomatoes suck isn't because of the variety per se, but because they are picked generally before they are ripe so they don't go bad during transport.

I have saved my own seeds before but not tomoatoes, its too much work. I prefer saving squash and radish seeds. My sunflower also naturally reseeded itself and has sprouted. Too bad the sprouts are being predated...

>>15932914
I was talking about growing from seed you saved from something you grew yourself.

>>15932946
I see now, that sounds good to me.

>>15932931
I just always assumed store tomatoes were shitty cultivars for mass production with less flavor. Would they really taste as good as regular homegrown tomatoes if they weren't harvested all goofy?

>>15933039
>Would they really taste as good as regular homegrown tomatoes if they weren't harvested all goofy?

I would think so. I am growing a lot of varieties they sell at the store, like cherry, roma, and beefsteak. There was a substantial difference in flavor when I let the tomatoes ripen on the vine vs picking them green or yellow and letting them ripen off vine.

>>15933057
Dude... all romas/cherries/beefsteak are not the same. Just because they're the same variety doesn't mean they're the same cultivar.

>>15932332
It's canada

>>15933099
I mean, idk. Grow some seeds you get from supermarket tomatoes and compare them to seeds you get from a seed packet. I'm actually experimenting with some buttercup and acorn squash I got from the store, I'm sure they will probably be different because hey probably were hybrids or some shit but who knows. I don't actually give a fuck because I don't buy tomatoes from the store.

>>15932914
these are from heirloom tomatoes of an unknown cultivar, they'd probably be $7 a pound at the store

>>15932332
Britain, it's fucking britain
