Well, our gardens have been bittersweet this year. Lots of lots of zucchini, peppers, two kinds of eggplant (we’ll get to the third in a minute), herbs – it’s been great. And though we have the tomato blight we did get some of each tomato except for the White Wonder. I picked the White Wonder to go all the way this year – it was going to produce first and the most. They are supposed to look like this. Josh now calls it the White Blunder – needless to say I’m less than impressed. However – I’ll probably try it again next year just to see if we can do it! Josh recently started referring to our tomatoes as the Tim Burton tomatoes. Look below to see why!
Why do I keep them you may be asking yourself when you see this picture? It’s because there is 1-2 tomatoes on each plant that I will harvest in 2-3 days and I will harvest them! I know some of you may be doubting me (Carolyn) – but there really are tomatoes on those plants.
Onto the next strange product from our garden. We bought three different types of eggplant in the spring. The plants themselves are going crazy – super-tall, super-green, looking really good. However, we are only getting eggplants from two of the plants – one plant produces long and dark purple ones and the other produces ones that are the size of a large softball and tie-dyed white and purple. And then we have the third plant.
In this first picture one might say – red eggplants – interesting. However, in the second pictures – eggplants that are smaller than a wine cork – what is it? I’m thinking they may be Turkish Italian Orange Eggplants – but I’m not sure. I’ll keep looking but I think it’s pretty funny that it took us about three months to produce those two eggplants!
