I had no idea these tomatoes start the process at the size of a small sedan.

[–] breakingcups@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Yeah, they're put there by a tomatow-truck.

I've climbed that volcano and ate the best damn tomatoes in my life at a little restaurant about half way to the summit.

How do they keep birds and other pests from shitting on them or eating them?

At first glance I thought this was an AI generated pic of some nonsense again. I think the internet fried my brain.

Something doesn't work out photographically, the distant tomatoes are way too big. The sharpness is fucky, too

[–] MerchantsOfMisery@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

I'd be so annoyed at people casually labelling my photography of being AI generated and then casually being all "oopsie I guess it's not".

They don't - it adds to the flavour.

People don't think it be like it is. But it do.

Do they export all of their flies to Mexico or something?

[–] numberfour002@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My first thought as well: Those would be covered in flies, ants, and/or other bugs if I tried it around here (which is not Mexico). It makes me wonder if this photo is taken some place that doesn't really have much in the way of bugs, as hard as that is to imagine, or if they go to great lengths to kill all the pests in the area to prevent them from taking over the tomato yield.

My dad is trying his hand at sun dried tomatoes this year and these don't seem to be an issue. I thought his yard would be covered in flies but nope
