        They contain the mildly to moderately toxic alkaloid tomatine lol, you’re gonna become a medical case study if you smoke the leaves.

        eggplant does. they’re cousins of tobacco.

        actually, you can cure and boil eggplant foliage to brew a nicotine based pest spray.

        though, you’re better off using tobacco instead.

  While the Joke is that that’s definitely not a tomato plant…

  Apparently tomato’s can do something like this if you fertilize with the wrong formula (I.e. high nitrogen).

  Tried growing some tomatoes myself for the first time this year… gave em the same fertilizer I was giving everything else, and they exploded with green growth into a giant bush, but never produced a single tomato. A few flowers would bloom, it’d get some small green ones, then they’d just fall right off the bush a day latter.
