Did you know that tomatoes are the most popular homegrown vegetable? You probably aren’t surprised. The vine plants are easy to grow in containers on patios or decks or in a simple backyard patch of dirt…and a fresh, homegrown tomato tastes light-years better than what you’d get in the grocery store. Would you like your tomatoes to taste even sweeter? Here’s what to do: Lower the acidity of your tomatoes by sprinkling baking soda (one-quarter to one-half cup, depending on the size of your plants) around your maturing plants and working it into the soil (about an inch or two below the surface). Do this once a week, and your tomatoes will taste sweeter.
