These are gorgeous - maybe I'll try this one next year. I did lavender touch this year.

Wow, those are just stunning!

I have a couple of small eggplant plants around the side of the house. They are just now blooming, haven't seen any eggplants yet.

Do they taste half as good as they look?

:-)

I picked ours young - couldn't wait! They were tasty grilled with oil & vinegar and S & P. I also found that the white eggplant skins are nowhere near as tough of the purple! Congrats to us HERBIE - we got past the flea beetles.

Off the subject, but I know you'll forgive me Frank. I just found my first eggplant - Ichiban...sooooo cute!
