    Anyone have any input as to why my romas are mushy? I picked my first batch this week and straight out of the garden they were mushy, not very yummy at all. They never saw the inside of the fridge but we have had a few nights that hit the low 50s... Thanks!

    I read somewhere today that tomatoes do not to get cool at all and anything below 55 could cause them to go mushy.

    I have read the same thing as G'mama in more than one place--in fact the general temp mentioned as the lower temp limit was 54°F.

    Thanks, guess they are going in the freezer for salsa canning in the fall. Thankfully the hot weather is back for a few weeks.
