July 22, 2008. Summer veggies are here in force! They make the onslaught of heat, humidity, and Japanese beetles more bearable. Pictured here are our 'Pintung Long' oriental eggplants, a mainstay of our vegetable garden. The last couple of years I decided to grow it in our Earthbox planter, where it has grown much more strongly than in the open ground. Besides the eggplants, we're enjoying a few types of summer squash, bush beans, the first tomatoes, and cucumbers. Can you say ratatouille? |
