Sour Grape Tomatoes

For some reason, my grape tomatoes are not as sweet as they should be.  Thanks to my super consistent automatic watering system, they aren't splitting, but they also don't taste very good--yesterday I made a simple pasta salad with good olive oil, salt, pepper, pecorino, and some grape tomatoes just picked from the garden, and it was good, but the tomatoes were awfully tart.  I can't imagine what I've done wrong.

  1. Did you ever get an answer to this question? I am concerned about recipes that call for grape tomatoes because sometimes even the store bought ones can be terribly bitter.
    I'm curious.
