I am an amateur gardener that LOVES tomatoes. I have two tomato plants that i've been nurturing for some time now, and they seem to be doing well, however the tomatoes that i get from them (while delicious) have very tough skins. Does anyone know why this is, or how to remedy?

usually uneven watering cause the skin to become tough. try watering every 5 or 6 days consistently for better results.
hope this helps

Put them in a food processor and add some peppers and garlic and onions and make a salsa.. It may be the type of tomatoes. It could be from the earlier years hybrid type. You cannot re-plant seeds from a hybrid and expect the same results.

to quick peel, drop into boiling water briefly and then immediately into ice water. The skin splits and almost jumps off.

If it is impossible to insult them either.....they are naturally thick skinned.
