I’ve managed to grow some fairly large tomato plants (3-4 ft. tall) from seeds left over from the chopping board, but they have yet to produce any tomatoes (though they did flower briefly). However, some of my colleagues have already gotten tomatoes despiet their tomato plants being much smaller (they used tomato seeds bought in packets). One of my friends told me this is because grocery tomatoes have been bred to make commercially viable tomatoes, but are not necessarily good for growing tomato plants from. Is this true?

I planted some flowers and then it suddenly turned cold. My flowers are drooping and beginning to look like they’re dieing. How do I save them? I don’t know what kind of flowers they are.
I planted them in the ground.

I have a coleus plant, a cactus, ficus, bamboo, and some others which I don’t know the name of… and I would like them to grow better. I remember reading somewhere that just by putting skins of vegetables/fruits in certain plants’ soil serves as a good fertilizer, though I’m not sure if that’s true and what’s the best way to do it. If any of you know any good tips for easy to implement home made fertilizers, please share.

    When browsing the store for plant seeds I notice some seeds from plants that do not seem to produce seeds. An example would be carrots but I am sure there are many more.

    I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers and as they are slowly dying off, I was wondering if I could somehow plant them in the ground, and have it grow into a plant. After all, flower seeds come from flowers, right?
