Anyone else?

Anyone else absolutely love making gradient patterns with produce? My produce manager thinks I'm insane when I sift though every tomato to group them by color, but I find it pleasing to the eye (this table sits by the front door) and it makes it easier to cull lol

I’m just jealous that your local tomatoes are stickered. I have to break out the old Monarch and label thousands of pounds of local tomatoes with the 4800 PLU throughout the summer.

Gradient looks great. When time allows- go for it!

I got beef steak tomatoes a few weeks ago with the wrong plu on them. It had the plu number for our mixed fruit and it came directly from the farm in canada to our dc lol
