When buying seeds, you need to approach them carefully, study not only the information on the packaging, but also read reviews from those who have tried to grow these crops.

And, of course, you shouldn't buy seeds based only on the picture on the package. In this case, you can grow tomatoes that never turn red.

It's not a matter of marriage or genetic mutation. There are just varieties of green tomatoes, here they are.
