Well my very first eggplant flower fell off. which is fine and to be expected from a 12″ x 12″ plant. It was quite pretty when it was in full bloom. too bad the humidity got to it before any sort of pollination could occur.
here’s a pic of my first tomato sliced crosswise. i guess it ripened suddenly coz of a change in it’s environment. it got moved to the ground.
as you can see from the cross section of the fruit, it was a bit on the mealy side.
guess the plant got confused and ripened it up a lot faster than it should have. there were absolutely no seeds and not a lot of gel. it just looks a lot like an unripe tomato picked from the vine and then ripened by ethylene gas. tasted like a grocery tomato, absolutely no flavor. tasted a bit on the green side. but then i picked it a bit earlier than i should have. perfectly fine since it was just a fruit from a pubescent plant.
