So I've been telling you about this year's garden, but I haven't told you much about last year's garden, specifically the fact that it's still growing. Last year my garden included an eggplant. It grew and grew and got many buds and flowers, but none of the buds ever set any fruit. The season was extremely rainy. Any of you growing veggies last year know what I mean. There was so much rain that almost everything was taken over by fungus. Now my eggplant survived this deluge but all the buds fell off from too much water! However, surprisingly, it's still growing. So I was looking at it yesterday and, lo and behold, itty bitty eggplants! It's covered in blooms right now and at least two or three have emerging fruit - woo hoo!

Eggplant, eggplant
How do you do?
I've been waiting
a while to see you.
Didn't think you would come
But there you are little one!
Thats cool! I lost everything in my veggie garden but most of my herbs have been ok...I haven't even covered them in the freeze. I think I will try a veggie garden again this year...except that it can be soooo expensive :)
