POTATO,TOMATO & MINT LEAVES PLUCKING--UPDATE

I saw few monkeys on the terrace of a nearby  house and so I decided to pluck all the tomatoes, which have turned red. 
At present, plucking of 10-15 cherry tomatoes is a regular feature.



                                                                                           
A full bowl of  mint leaves have 
also been pinched for making
tasty chutney.




My intention to sow  waste potatoes with cotyledons was to make use of a big broken tray and to create some green area in winters. But when I took out the potato plants from the tray, I was surprised to see several 
potatoes of different sizes were hanging to the roots. Potatoes were plucked and  washed away. You would not believe that these were about  1 Kg.




Flowers as well 
as fruits both are visible on capsicum and brinjal plants. 


                         






Same is the case with a  strawberry              
plant, which I had purchased from a nursery.




Broccoli plant is now without leaves and is laden  with its seed pods.

                                                                   


 I have sown the seeds of  brinjal, french beans, tomato and  chili in a tray few days back .Seedlings are ready for transplantation.
