If you are willing to drive, you can find some good tomatoes and lots of other farm fresh fruits and veggies on theese sites.

I don't have any tomatoes, but I saw the coolest gadget at Target the other day and you might want to look into for your tomato fix. It's called the AeroGrow AeroGarden. It's an indoor hydroponic garden where you can grow herbs or tomato plants. I want one - I'm always needing fresh herbs but I hate buying them at the store! You can also find the gardens on Amazon.com for about $115 dollars (I can't remember how much it was at Target).

I have plants growing now with some nice tomatoes started. I just hope we get them before little squirrels and birds do!! We are already getting grape tomatoes.

My hubby is on the road often and he will stop at roadside set ups in east TX and bring them home....Yummy. Other than that, I have been to Fairview Farms and Georgia's in Plano and bought good tomatoes.

Nothing like a home grown tomato!!

Try the Dallas Farmers' Market. I've gotten some great tomatoes in Shed 2 from a grower I think is called Sandra's Ugly Tomatoes.

I too learned the hard way. When I can't have tomatoes from my neighbor I buy "Campari" tomatoes from Tom Thumb or Albertsons. They are smaller than the "Vine Ripened" ones and bigger than cherry tomatoes. They really do taste like tomatoes.

I have a garden and just got my first green peppers and zuccini yesterday and tomotoes should be coming along soon. I can let you know if I have some to share... I live in Allen.
