I don't wanna talk about it...

If I had to pin down the reason for my gardening downfall this year I would say it was definitely the peas. They just kept coming and coming and I couldn't keep up. Tomorrow I will rip them out and start fresh with something else.
Other plants that don't make me feel guilty:

Dr. Suess Onions


Cherry tomatoes just turning red.  I've got big plans for them. 


Little eggplants.  Remember how I thought they all died?  I learned an important lesson; never put all your eggplants in one basket. 


Corn.  I planted it in two plantings this year so we won't have to eat 10 cobs a day to keep up. 


I remember reading somewhere that the corn will be ready ___ days after the tassels appear.  I should really look that up....


Gurney's Magic Pumpkins.  So far just one and it doesn't look too magical...



One Jack-be-REALLY-little



Fuji apple tree drooping from all the weight.  Doreen told me to pull some of the apples off but I couldn't do it.  I am too attached. 



Gala tree needs no thinning.


Aw look... they're blushing.

I assume you must like eggplant in order to grow them! Do you have any good eggplant recipes to share? I want to try it again this year. The only time I made it myself, it was kind of blah.

I've got some good recipes- if my eggplants ever get bigger than my thumb I'll be sure to post them.
