Aubergine No 1

We have harvested our first aubergine!



I'm so proud! It is off the plant that we bought as a little seedling, so it isn't quite all our own work, but I have high hopes for the ones we have grown from seed as they are flowering now.

It went into a curry but I'm thinking of Baba Ganoush for the next one.

Well done! We grew one piddly aubergine last year that we didn't really have the heart to eat. I hope you get lots more. The flowers are gorgeous, aren't they?

Thanks!

They are pretty flowers. There are 2 more fruit nearly the same size on the plant, and another 2 small ones forming.

And I think the first flower on a stripy pink and white one we were given by a neighbour has just set fruit too. I'm looking forward to that.
