My eggplants
 

Hello,

I'm kinda new here. just wanna share pics of my eggplants. Of all nightshades, eggplants are my favorite crop because they are more hardy than cousins. I want to try other eggplant varieties as well.

Welcome to the forum, pinakbet - and thanks for sharing your eggplant pictures!

very nice eggplants ya got there! =D

This was my first year growing eggplants, and I am SO growing more next year! Just two black beauty plants this year, but already have some seeds for next year. Gonna try Rosita, Early Long Purple, and a white eggplant seed pack my mom brought back from Monticello, thinking about adding a few more too :-)

YUM! Nice looking harvest there! Sounds great! How does Kermit taste? It looks prolific, thanks for the offer!

the kermit hybrid tastes sweet, just harvest it before it starts developing seeds. yes they are prolific. Just PM me your address if your interested and i'll send you some seeds. :D

PM sent, keep those pics coming, loving them! Are those your own eggplants in the avatar pic? They are really cute.

PM answered. :D Just found the pic of my avatar over the internet. :D

Your eggplants are looking good. You are from Phillipines. I have a lot
of Filipino co-workers. They introduced me to the Bitter Melon, which
I grow now. I give them my extra eggplant seedlings in spring. Their
favorite is the Thai Green. Reminds them of one that grows in Phillipines.

Thanks. currently they are being attacked by lots of caterpillars. I don't want to use pesticides as of this moment because there are some fruit that I'll be harvesting soon so I'm just removing them one by one..
Cool. So I guess you already tried adobo. :D

I grew eggplants better than tomatoes maybe because they are more hardy than toms.

You should try growing other of our veggies especially the winged bean. :D

Yes, adobo is delicious. So is Pancit and Lumpia
I also love the Cassava Cake, but so rich, you
can eat it once in a while. I may try the winged
bean, have never tried it before.. I think you have
better luck with eggplants because they are heat
lovers. They do very well here, even with the
humidity.
