I don't know truck from backyard, but the best tastiest tomatoes I've ever eaten were from a roadside stand, Leamington Ontario...left-overs from production for nearby Hunt's catsup factory...

Yours have better shape. They just look like they need a few more days of sun to ripen.

Experienced farmers know the tricks. It's a balance of fertilizers and pesticides - some not available unless you're a "truck farmer" or certified in it for profit. I know folk who shun the "perfect" tomatoes...too many chemicals to make that fat juicy thing.

Yours: regulart watering, not much fertilizer
His: Regular fertilizer ( maybe too much) and not enough watering.
Just my humble opinion.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
