Imagine how much fun it would be to eat a salad and find a heart shaped cucumber or a star shaped tomato. It would have the same excitement as eating a bowl of Lucky Charms, but healthier!
Zayinsoft, a company out of Europe has created plastic molds in the shape of hearts and stars that will transform your garden. You simply put the mold around the entire vegetable and after a few days to weeks, your vegetable will grow into the shape of the mold. When the vegetable is ready to be harvested, remove the mold and enjoy!
The molds are hung via a twist-tie for vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes.
These vegetable grow molds also help protect against bugs. You do have to be gentle when attaching to tomatoes, because they fall off the stem very easily.
