ORANGE EGGPLANTS

There's not much happening in the vegetable tanks now in summer - far too hot. However the eggplants are thriving (if I remember to water them).

Three varieties were planted - Early Long Purple, Rosa Bianca and Turkish orange - bought from Heirloom Farm - and all 3 have provided healthy eggplants.  The orange ones which we have not seen before are really tasty if sliced thinly and fried in olive oil like chips.

The only produce coming out of the olive grove is from our 2 little apple trees - plenty for 2 people to enjoy.
