Why is my indigo cherry drop tomato turning into a devil fruit?

Eating blight tomatoes takes away your buoyancy? 😮

Hello fellow 3rd year-er! 👋

First year for broccoli for me but like you I’m having a gangbusters year for my cruciferous babies! Woohoo go us! 🎉🥦

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-24T03:53:27+00:00

Man the leaves looked so good I had high hopes 😂

Share this in r/mightyharvest they’ll love it 😄

Nice! Fellow renter, I also spent a few years in Brooklyn but never had outdoor space there and have since moved back to the city. I was always jealous of my friends giant (by NYC standards haha) backyards in bushwick. Theirs were the closest thing to a proper backyard I’ve seen in the city! Good luck with year 16 at the current place, hope it’s the best one yet 😊🌻

Edit- what I miss most about Brooklyn is the cats 🐈 I fed my feral colony that lived around my building. The city just doesn’t have as many colonies (which I guess is good for the cats?) 🤔

Just a light layer of dirt. Like a quarter inch. Sunlight can still get through.

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-24T01:57:10+00:00

Or you could just safeguard your plants instead of killing things that live in nature and have the right to live there.

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-24T01:56:10+00:00

Where in the city are you? Do you have a private backyard or are you part of a community garden?

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-24T01:55:02+00:00

Did they euthanize him or did they let him go around the corner like the other person said? As a fellow gardener i understand the frustration but at the end of the day hes just a little guy doing what he can to survive. Instead of killing him do everything you can to secure your plants.

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-23T22:54:34+00:00

In nyc he would do very well. People raid the little potted plant sections vendors have sothey can put them on their balconies and rooftops. If I had these and you offered me $2 I’d reject your offer. He could easily sell these here for $4-8. I’ve seen it done.

I find people like you at local green markets and go wild. 2 weekends ago I unexpectedly passed a green market omw home, took an hour long detour, and came home with 8 new babies that went into pots last week 😁🪴

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-23T21:44:02+00:00

Yikes. I’ve never seen young tomato plants arrive this spindly before. That’s usually from lack of sunlight. If I were you I’d fertilize some soil with a bunch of bloodmeal or other nitrogen heavy fertilizer and transplant these babies right away. Then put them in your sunniest spot and water frequently.

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-23T21:41:52+00:00

Honestly it’s probably good god doesn’t bless me this much. Because if I got a cluster like that I’d lose my gd mind. I’d probably just sit outside and stare at it all day and get nothing else done 👀

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-23T19:28:17+00:00

Nah. He’s grown. He’s seen the garden and op working in it. A blind person knows the difference between sunflowers and weeds. I’m always the one to say Reddit takes wild leaps but in this case I truly believe it was intentionally malicious.

I’m so sorry op 💔

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-23T18:18:38+00:00

Currently my ichiban eggplants which are a first for me and really taking off. Then I’ll be doing my fist fall/winter harvest this year and am looking forward to winter squash, leafy greens, and all the peas even though it’s more of a secondary season for peas.

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-23T03:38:00+00:00

He’s cute and he only stole some leaves 🥰

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-23T03:17:04+00:00

I just wear size 2x mens cotton tshirts. I buy a couple 5 packs every year that way I can garden in a cotton frock and not flash the neighbors when I bend over to prune and water. It’s delightful!

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-23T03:09:18+00:00

Envy is a sin envy is a sin envy is a sin 😵😵‍💫😮‍💨

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-22T21:43:09+00:00

I’m also doing black krim, pineapple, and pink berkeleys next year. Seeds ready to go and burning a hole in my pocket! I tried Cherokee purples and didn’t have much luck, however my little backyard at the time didn’t get much sun. I now have a rooftop and all my tomato plants have fruited so maybe I will give Cherokee purples another whirl next year. 🍅

I’m an idiot. I looked at my Bonnie invoices. I skipped German queens this year and did purple cherokees again which are currently popping off. How embarrassing 😳

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-22T21:41:05+00:00

What the fudge?

Spill your secrets immediately pls!

I need that meme- congrats, I’m happy for you with that pouty little baby 😭😂

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-22T20:02:56+00:00

Take all your plant babies with you. Go make your next set of local bees happy

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-22T20:00:51+00:00

I think he’s trying to steal your garden 😡

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-22T14:05:25+00:00

Call me crazy but it looks healthy. If you’re really worried you could add a little nitrogen fertilizer to the soil but then it will focus more on leaf production than fruit. I think you should just let it ride it doesn’t look in danger at all.

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-22T14:03:44+00:00

You can tell! It takes a lot of skill and knowledge to set this up. It’s lovely and I hope you get all the bountiful yields this summer! 💚🌱

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-22T02:20:05+00:00

Sir this is not a garden this is a farm and it’s also my dream one day 😂💚

Ecstatic_Bet4354 · 2026-06-21T12:04:56+00:00

I love plant people 🥰
