Tomatoes grown in unfortunate locations
I remember somebody I know who works on a steel works who said to me that on the site, there are lots of tomatoe plants with ripe looking tomatoes growing, but they can't be eaten due to the close up pollution coming from the steel works!

I heard years ago that there are lots of tomato plants in sewage works... because we can't digest tomato pips. Not sure if it's true but it always stuck with me!

When I did an oceanography course years ago (late 70s!) we did some sea bottom sampling in the Thames estuary and there were masses of tomato pips in the mud.
