Who knew growing eggplant would be so easy? I had steered clear of eggplant because of horror stories I heard about the pests it attracts. So far, no pests and super eggplant!
The eggplant is doing much better than the wimpy pepper plants. Am thinking the heat of the summer really stressed them out before I could keep them supplied with much needed water.
The eggplant skin is very smooth, but I've discovered the ends can be a bit prickly.
Now I can use those eggplant recipes I've collected. Last night it was lasagna with eggplant layered in the middle instead of pasta.
Looks like I'll have more than enough to harvest, slice, blanch and freeze for use during the winter months.
