Look at our beautiful eggplants.  

 

The dark ones on the bottom are from The Basket Barn in Blairsville.  In April when we were getting ready to transplant our tomato, pepper, and eggplant seedlings into the garden, the eggplants that I had grown from seeds were so tiny.  I panicked, thinking we wouldn’t have any eggplants this year, so I bought a 6 pack of plants from Jessie.  Meanwhile, I kept nurturing my baby seedlings.  

 

The lighter purple ones are the ones I grew from seeds.  The heirloom variety is Ping Tung.  All the plants are growing beautifully in the garden, and giving us enough eggplants to make some really fine dinners.  These are going to become eggplant rollotini.  With tomato sauce that we made ourselves.

 

HAPPY SUMMER!!!
