This
weeks Harvest included three eggplant weighing in at 900gm
and
sweet peppers at 300gm.
There
are still 5 eggplants on two bushes and at least 25 peppers on 3
plants so if I'm lucky with the weather they may just hold on for
another couple of weeks.
Now
I have LIZ to thank for my wonderful eggplant/pepper/chilli harvests
as if it wasn't for her inspiring posts on these veggies way back in
2011 I probably wouldn't have bothered trying to grow them. (there
had been a few miserable attempts before)
They
have been used in salads and curries, grilled on the BBQ,
marinated,roasted, pickled and made into relish.
I
have also gifted many to my new neighbors and in returned enjoyed
their homebaked bread.
They
will certainly be on my list again for next years summer crop!!

Wow, I have eggplant envy. I only got 4 in total off of three plants. Terrible!
ReplyDeleteOh yay - thankyou for the link! They look great and I always find them fun to grow. Especially all those pepper varieties waiting to be tried.
