I have at least 5 eggplants that are plumping up now. So far, this is my best success with eggplant -- ever. The variety I'm trying out is 'Black Beauty,' which can grow fruits 8-10 inches long, 1-3 pounds each. The one in the foreground of the photo is not quite tennis-ball size yet, so we still have a way to go before picking. Not a problem, since we are presently trying to keep up with an abundance of ripening tomatoes!

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey look almost like truffle chocolate.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it so fulfilling to watch your garden grow?! Your eggplants are looking good. I hope you have some good recipes for when they're ready to eat :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of tomatoes. We got blight this year (again!) so you did much better than us!
