Most gardeners approach the enterprise of planting tomatoes with euphoria and zest. A few simple things can facilitate you to grow the most prestigious tomatoes you can grow. The first thing to do is choose a vivacious tomato plant. It should be healthy, with luxuriant green leaves and a robust and powerful stem. When you implant the tomato, dig a pretty big hole, and inject some mulch. Add water also. Insert the deciduous tomato intothe hole, and be sure to thrust it deep into the ground, working partially up the length of your arm. Promulgate additional mulch to envelop the roots and even part of the stem then amplify the mulch and water as required. Be sure to situate the tomato i'n a sunny spot. Tomatoes reflect a strong preference for full sun. Give the tomato some fertilizer, but exercise caution. If you give it too much, the tomato plant itself will burgeon, but will not stimulate many tomatoes.

The eggplant, aubergine, melongene, brinjal, or guinea squash (Solanum melongena) is a plant of the family Solanaceae (also known as the nightshades) and genus Solanum. It bears a fruit of the same name, commonly used in cooking. As a nightshade, it is closely related to the tomato and potato and is native to Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
It is a delicate perennial often cultivated as an annual. It grows 40 to 150 cm (16 to 57 in) tall, with large coarsely lobed leaves that are 10 to 20 cm (4–8 in) long and 5 to 10 cm (2–4 in) broad. Semiwild types can grow much larger, to 225 cm (7 ft) with large leaves over 30 cm (12 in) long and 15 cm (6 in) broad. The stem is often spiny. The flowers are white to purple, with a five-lobed corolla and yellow stamens. The fruit is fleshy, has a meaty texture, and is less than 3 centimetres (1.2 in) in diameter on wild plants, but much larger in cultivated forms.

The fruit is botanically classified as a berry, and contains numerous small, soft seeds, which are edible, but are bitter because they contain nicotinoid alkaloids, unsurprising as it is a close relative of tobacco.

Try looking next to the decoder ring. If not, there's always under the couch cushions (an enigma in itself; maybe your machine is trying to solve the enigma of your couch! It's thinking "How is this product Swedish just because it was made by Ikea? I saw this same style at a locally owned furniture store in Charlotte...........that can't be right..............")

eggplants burn my mouth. no matter how salted and squeezed out. icky aubergines.

I like growing sweet little yellow pear tomatoes and funny hierloom varietals. you should put something down about staking them, and identifying/pinching off new growth.

Who's the joker that sent me a subscription to a gardening magazine? Don't you know I don't have a green thumb?
