I love eggplant; it is the first plant that I grew in the garden that was truly mine and mine alone.
I had to haul water in 3 pound coffee cans that I had put wire on for handles.
I had about 20 of the things and I was about 11 years old at the time.
Last year I grew Florida market and lavender touch they got about 4 feet tall.
They are a good trap plant for insects such as grasshoppers.
So even if you don’t like to eat the things they are a beautiful plant.
There must be a thousand ways to cook the things.
The only bad eggplant is one that has not been eaten.
DID I TELL YALL I LOVE EGGPLANT
