* For the best flavor, pick ripe tomatoes as needed; flavor peaks within three minutes of picking. If you must wait to use garden-fresh tomatoes, do not refrigerate them. Fruit texture and some aroma compounds deteriorate quickly in the cold.
* A garden needs 1 inch of rain or water each week. Early morning is the best time to water. Evening watering is less desirable because leaves that remain wet through the night are more susceptible to fungal diseases. Mulch plants to reduce water loss and improve yields.
* Stop vine crops from taking over your garden or lawn by pinching off the fuzzy growing tips. This also directs the plant’s energy into ripening fruit rather than producing more vine.
* If your potatoes are visible along the soil surface, the portion exposed to light will turn green. Green-skinned potatoes will taste bitter and can . cause illness, s<f protect tubers from light by covering them with soil or mulch.
* Summer squash with a bitter taste should not be eaten as it may contain a natural toxin, curcubitacin E, that can cause food poisoning symptoms, such as stomach cramps. Often these fruits are the result of self-seeded plants. Avoid this problem by not saving self-seeded squash plants.
