Bianco DiNapoli is both a tomato and a trendy luxury brand. Consumers are willing to pay high prices for luxury brands. Rolex, Gucci, Chateau Lafite, etc.
You're in luck then Cal, Salt and Straw has a Vancouver location.
There are 3 in San Diego Tony...
My wife loves them. Ive never been to one.

No. You can not use canned tomatoes to make gazpacho. You simply can not. Absolutely you can not, you should not, you must not!
BTW, I got some seeds from Barcelona last year for tomaquets de penjar ( tomatoes for hanging )

If you can't get them, PM and I can send you some...
If you must need home grown tomatoes in winter, then this is what you need. I'm growing them this year for the first time. On our one month trip last year, we bought a bunch of them on the first day at our airBnB and we had them hanging in the kitchen for the whole month!
There something that makes me happy seeing fresh tomatoes in the kitchen. That and some bottles of wines, vermouth and cognac by the TV... ;-)
BTW, we can get great tomatoes year round now at Whole Foods... not as good as homemade but then I don't have to fight the local rodents for the fruits.
Those look delicious. My tomato growing attempts this year have so far been an abject failure with a couple of heirloom varieties. At the weekend my sister gave me some rather heathier plants so I might still get some toms. Nightshade grows well in the garden so it should be good for other members of that family

Oh, I can relate Mark. My wife likes the luxury brand Weldon. No end to the products available, simply the price tag that warms her motor. Chuga chuga-ching-ching!

No such thing. Just different city, different country. Never been to the smaller Vancouver. Might just have to do so one day.
Put it back in your pants Tony baby. The afternoon wine and cigars are having their affect.
To say can't, is a huge misnomer my friend.
Remember, I am responding to a man who offers forth ketchup, yellow mustard and mayonnaise as perfectly acceptable condiments in his gormay kwizeen.

Yes please. Can you deliver them between December 15 and April 30 when the locals are in short supply? Appreciate it very much.

We put our tomato plants in the ground a couple weeks ago. Early Girl, San Marzano, German Pink and Sungold.
What do I know Cal? Vancouver to the north of me, Vancouver to the south, here I am stuck in the middle...

Here in Vancouver it's traditional to put them in on Victoria long weekend which is one week before memorial long weekend and also the unofficial start to summer.
Cal, wildlife and fisheries is saying the pink salmon run should be HUGE this year.

Have you compared the supermarket tomatoes and the tomatoes that grows in your garden ? the supermarket ones are hard as and apple and the gardened ones are so tender that they can be cutted with the side of a fork, whatever species it is.
The second least desirable next to Chum. Good for side dishes or flavouring only. Not to be served as a main dish unless you don't respect the audience.
@billshurv I'm not sure how the experts figure such things, but they're saying that it'll possibly be one of the top 5 years since 1959.
