Tomatoes are easy to grow! They just take a fuck ton of water.

I hear they’re much tastier than what you buy in the store.

This is accurate; grocery store tomatoes are bred for durability rather than taste. The canned tomatoes down the soup aisle are honestly better than the fresh ones in the produce section. A large pot in a sunny corner of your back porch can do a lot better than your local supermarket.

depends on who grows them, we finally started getting domestic tomatoes in stores again here in sweden and they actually smell and taste like tomatoes should.

They don’t need to use the ones that are bred for durability if the shipping takes like an hour by truck…

If they are not organic they put fertilizers on them which is basically salt that makes the cells swell with water but not nutrition nor taste.

Supposed to be even more, particularly because you can pick at peak ripeness. Store ones they pick far beyond ripe so they transport and handle better.

It depends on the cultivar, but usually yes!

You can feed your dog tomatoes, and you don’t even have to bother with seeding!

Or fertilizer!

You don’t need a dog for this, you can do it yourself.

Depends on how many chickens can fit on the eggplant. I think 1 is the max.

Cries in having no sunlight in the apartment. Mine didn’t survive the dark apartment life, so can’t confirm.
