    I would also be very interested to see the pictures and a list of materials. Your link doesn't take me to your pictures, so hopefully you can figure out how to post them here.

    Having BIG problems here lately with "Eggplant Fruits and Shoot Borer" Grubs infesting our Egg Plants, anyone else here having problems (BIG problem in SE Asia!) the best solution appears to be growing them in Greenhouses, even the small hoop type covered in mesh around 24"high from the info I have found online so as to keep the Adult Moth from laying eggs on your plants. Poisons do not work and only by cutting away the bad part of the stem and disposing (best to burn) of all infected parts including infected fruits is the way to deal with the problem.

    It took me a fair bit of searching to establish the problem we are having here, so for anyone else growing Egg Plant, a Greenhouse (even a small cover) will go a long way towards growing good Eggplant fruits...

    Buy the green tomatoes, or any unripened fruit or veggie, and place them in a dark place in a brown paper bag. Check after 2-3 days.

    Hi!
    How is the beef tomato projects going along now after 2 years? Any progress? I brought seeds with me in hopes to plant one day.
    I know that the cherry tomatoes are much easier, but I really would love to eat those beefy ones here too :centeruniverse: mmmmm...tomatas......mmmmm
