The last of my last, so please excuse their haggard appearance! It’s gotten cold and I’ve been slacking on watering lol - they’ve been split by the rains!

Question Do you eat tomatoes that have sprouted?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hello!

My grandmother grows tomatoes and gives them to me. My flat is pretty warm and full of light during the day and i keep my tomatoes in a bowl on the kitchen table. Multiple times the seeds inside have sprouted while the tomato is still whole. Sometimes a lot and very small, almost unnoticeable sprouts, but sometimes (like this time) very pronounced.

I've eaten the tomatoes none the less. Today though a miracle happened and i formed a thought before 7am. Many nightshade plants are poisonous in the parts your not supposed to eat. Are the sprouts poisonous?

I picked out the sprouts from the tomato this time because i didn't like them. (They tasted like uncooked potatoes and i wasn't in the mood for that) Now i have a picture for reference.

I would be sad if i had to throw out my tomatoes if it is wrong to eat them. Is there a way to prevent them from sprouting?

Ps. Forming a single thought doesn't mean I've fully woken up so im sorry for my english.

Currently feeding it CZ two part fertilizer in DWC.

Plant Help "Juni' heirloom mini-dwarf - blossom end rot conundrum

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

All the fruit on my Juni plants is currently being tossed due to blossom end rot, despite having steadily ramped up my watering over the past 2-3 weeks. I'm not sure what to do because they're now exhibiting both BER (suggesting the soil needs to be kept more moist) *and* leaf epinasty (suggesting overwatering/root rot). The seed packet said Juni toms do alright in 1-2 gallon pots, and the pot they're in has good drainage.

Any advice for next steps? These are prolific plants, setting fruit all over the place, and I hate to see it all going to waste. These are indoors being grown on a West-facing windowsill (NC, US zone 8a).

Including a pic of my other toms ("Candyberry" and "Carrot-Leaf Mini") on the same windowsill because they also have leaf epinasty but have not had the same issues with BER. All of the toms have very sturdy stems and leaves--the leaves are just curled down. I'm pretty sure the issue isn't high ethylene, because there's no heat running, and my lettuce on the same windowsill is still green and crispy despite some bolting.
