Like a neat little garden next to your cottage? Need to role play a farm, self sustaining village or colony and green up the sim while conserving prims?
This Red Tomato Patch v1 has 15 plants in 3 x 5 rows on a one prim form that makes a convincing farm. Looks best at 10x5m but is modifiable and can be shrunk or resized up to 10 x 10 to fit any garden plot or provide large ground cover.
These are realistic looking mature fruit bearing plants ready for harvest. These plants are set on natural light, not bright. They do not glow in the dark. Passersby at night will still be able to marvel at your green thumb without wondering if they have wandered in a radioactive hot zone
The tomato is native to South America originating in the Peruvian highlands. The exact date of domestication is not known. Christopher Columbus, may have taken them to Europe as early as 1493. The tomato was spread around the world following the Spanish colonization of the Americas.
The tomato belongs to the nightshade family. The plants typically grow to 1–3 metres (3–10 ft) in height and have a weak stem that often sprawls over the ground and vines over other plants. It is a perennial in its native habitat, although often grown outdoors in temperate climates as an annual.
Like many other nightshades, tomato leaves and stems contain atropine and other tropane alkaloids that are toxic if ingested. Ripened fruit does not contain these compounds[citation needed]. Leaves, stems, and green unripe fruit of the tomato plant contain small amounts of the poisonous alkaloid tomatine. Use of tomato leaves in tea (tisane) has been responsible for at least one death. However, levels of tomatine are generally too small to be dangerous.
I started landscaping on a history sim where 1/3 of the prims are reserved for tall ships and texture lag can sink a ship. Conserving prims, using low prim items, allows for more role play props to be rezzed. And using high quality, quick loading low lag textures make for convincing detail. Cara Mia Gardens is dedicated to providing the best low prim, low lag landscaping on the grid. After all, a prim saved is a prim earned.
Come see this and many other trees, flowers, and crops in my in-world garden.
