My eggplants - Page 4

I'm tempted to plant some of those white eggs next year.

I'm wondering if I can convince my nephews and nieces that their parents have snookered them into eating vegetables by telling tall tales of eggs coming from chickens.

Long tall and creative you never know. Get them to grow them along with the tall tale.

My grandson wouldn't eat much in the way of veggies except for the magic beans he grew in our garden.

I've never tried eggplant and decided to give a try in the garden this year. My partner of forty years says he doesn't like it. I'm thinking some creativity with tall tales and that picture might do the trick.

Hiyee! Yup I do post here too.

There will be an agri convention next month and I'm hoping to get new varieties of eggies there and i'll include it(if i manage to acquire new interesting varieties) to my pending envelope for you.

Iva · September 24, 2011

No hurry with that envelope, you know I have plenty of time before sowing time. Hope to see you more. Hugs!

Hi! What is a good source for other Orient seeds ? I grow some Orient veggies and I started a nice Xbig barrel of Lemon Grass for tea. I stir fried Bitter Melon in some veggies and it was just toooo bitter for me, did I fix it right ? I also have a package of Benincasa Hispida 4111 or Chien Qua .what the heck is this ? I cant read any of the directions so I dont know what this is .
I Love your eggplants and would like to get some Kermit seeds and am wanting to try the Winged bean thats like Asparagus they say, however those long long beans are great stir fried !
THANKS

try these:
www.evergreenseeds.com
http://www.kitazawaseed.com/

for the kermit, let me check if i still can get seeds of it. i didn't save any seeds from it coz they are F1, need to check our local seed company if they have one in stock.

I don't think asparagus and winged beans tastes the same....

Wow - thanks! My Ichabanas and Black Beauty's did great this year - I can't wait to try some of the beautiful plants you photographed. How does the Casper taste?
