What's your favourite tomato dish? Mine is pizza. This tomato was planted from a seed. After a few days, it sprouted. A few months later, it started to flower. Yellow small flowers with 5 petals. I hand-pollinated the flowers using a cotton bud. One week later, small green fruits start to form. It takes around 1 month to mature into red ripe tomatoes. Tomatoes are fruits and not vegetables. The largest tomato in the world weighs around the same as a newborn baby ~3kg. The smallest tomato in the world is the size of a saga seed.
