Set

Set: In gardening, “set” can refer to the process where a plant begins to develop fruit or flowers after pollination. It can also refer to a collection of gardening tools or plants.

So, “setting fruit” is like when your plant decides, “Okay, I’m done with just looking pretty; let’s make some babies!” It’s the moment those tiny tomatoes or peppers form after the flowers have been pollinated. This is a crucial time because if the conditions aren’t right (too hot, too cold, not enough water), your plant might drop those little guys, and you’ll be left with nothing but leafy greens.

A “gardening set” is your gardening toolkit. Think of it as your superhero utility belt, filled with all the gadgets you need to conquer the garden. It might include a trowel, a hand rake, pruning shears, and maybe even a fancy little watering can. Having a good set of tools can make gardening so much easier, and it’ll make you feel like a real pro, even if you’re just digging holes and planting seeds.

Ultimately, whether you’re talking about fruit setting or tool sets, “set” in gardening is all about getting things started or being prepared. One is about the plant’s reproduction, and the other is about the gardener’s preparation. And really, isn’t that what gardening is all about? Starting things and being prepared.
