I've been neglecting the plants at my grandmother's house a bit, so I have some work to do these days

Greetings and blessings to all! I'm grateful to share a new post here in the #hivegarden community, which I love so much. It's a great place to show off some of the plants I have at my grandmother's house. They've survived these last few days thanks to the abundant rain, which has meant I haven't had to water them, just keep an eye on them. I haven't been doing much of that, but I'll have to do some chores, the most important being weeding.

The first ones I tackled were the tomato plants, perhaps the ones I'm most concerned about. I need to secure them a bit more since they've grown quite a bit, and I hope they'll have a good harvest. But I especially need to work on one plant that's bent over and has a small sprout, so I have to support it more firmly to prevent this from happening again.

Elsewhere, I have some sweet pepper plants that have grown quite a bit, but some insect has been eating them, especially the leaves, leaving practically just the branches. These peppers I planted not too long ago were also eaten, but fortunately, they're growing back now. However, I have to keep an eye on the weeds growing around them, as you can see in the photos in my post.

Finally, there's an eggplant plant, one of the first I planted, and it hasn't produced its first harvest yet. It has had flowers, like it does now, but after a few days, the flowers disappear. Perhaps the soil or the plant needs a little more strength to allow it to take that step and produce a good harvest.
