The word "tomato" may refer to the plant (Solanum lycopersicum) or the edible, typically red, fruit that it bears. Originating in<br />
South America, the tomato was spread around the world. There are around 7500 tomato varieties grown for various purposes.<br />
Hybrid plants remain common, since they tend to be heavier producers, and sometimes combine unusual characteristics of<br />
heirloom tomatoes with the ruggedness of conventional commercial tomatoes.<br />

Fragaria is a genus of flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae, commonly known as strawberries for their edible<br />
fruits. There are more than 20 described species and many hybrids and cultivars. The most common strawberries grown<br />
commercially are cultivars of the garden strawberry, a hybrid known as Fragaria ananassa. Strawberries are an easy plant to<br />
grow, and can be grown almost anywhere in the world. The best time to plant is in early to middle spring. Strawberries are a<br />
strong plant that will survive many conditions, but, during the time that the plant is forming fruit, it is important for it to get<br />
enough water.<br />
