We have our eggplants which have started to have fruits,and this will help to make balanced diets.
Is there anyone having much experience in growing them such that we can keep on sharing with each other?
And who knows the food nutrients that can be gotten from them?
Please feel free to share with me.

It was 49F / 9.4C low last night near the garden and forecast to be the same or warmer tonight so I set a couple of trays of tomatoes out to make some room indoors. They're setting in the newest raised bed that I just filled up with dirt from a hole I'm digging and some chicken compost. The bed will probably get 2 eggplants, maybe a tomatillo, and some basil. I'm only planting 10 of these tomato plants.

I was a bit worried about the Campari tomatoes after I potted them up since I was using a new bag of potting mix that was different brand. Some of them were not looking good but they all started growing and some are looking pretty good. There's always the chance the potting mix has some tomato killing thing or disease in it but I think it's ok. The eggplants are looking good, and I saw a plum starting to push up.

I plucked and potted the last of the tomatoes and some cabbages tonight. All the tomatoes were ones that will just be extras but this will let me choose the best looking plants. Most of them could be put in bigger pots so that will probably happen soon. I also got a couple of eggplants to sprout.

This type of eggplant (Solanum melongena) is believed to be the original form that gave the plant its common English name, for obvious reasons.
... No, I haven't tried cooking with it though I use various types of Thai, Chinese and Japanese eggplants in my Asian cooking ...

"As for eggplants, they now cost 25 shekels, while the price used to be just 3 shekels per kilo. This is our reality today — outrageous prices and a severe shortage of many vegetables like onions, lemons, and potatoes. And even if small amounts are available, their prices are far beyond what we can afford."

Recent harvested things from the garden.
Pulled a couple of eggplants out today, they were wilting from unknown, both on the north ends of their different beds so maybe just too wet or perfect conditions for whatever they have. They're on the burn pile now and I treated the area and other eggplants with Soil Blast.
Lots of beans but 5 times as many bean flowers.

Today's harvest from the garden, minus any zucchini because I didn't spend much time looking. Picked the largest eggplants and a ones that were on a dying stalk, 2 cucumbers, 2 yellow crooknecks, and 580 grams / 20 ounces of runner beans.

During the strong #sunshine we #UgandaEcoYouthsNetwork found a smart #ecoFriendly way to keep water in our crops by using dried materials cut from our #banana plantations to cover the soil around our #eggplants this simple #climateSmart method helps the soil stay cool and moist even in dry weather and protects our food from drying out it's how we fight #hiddenHunger through #sustainableFarming and local innovation we never give up because #youthInAg can #stopHunger and build a resilient future.

Peppers, eggplants, basil cuttings, and potted marigolds that haven't been replanted yet.
I'm actually really impressed how good the peppers are growing this year. Even the pathetic looking Jalapenos grew out of their root bound funk and look pretty good.
I put some of the basil cuttings I didn't pot up directly in the soil and that seems to be working ok so far.

#Eggplants got their name because some were originally white and round.

"Woman Pulling Giant Aubergines from a Tree," Unknown Artist, probably Bengali, 19th century.
Here we have a watercolor done in the Kalighat style, from an area of the Bengal region of India....but it's unclear if this is actually from there or only done in the style. There's no provenance on this work and the identity and nationality of the artist are unknown.
Still...gardeners are harvesting their yields now, so this whimsical image is appropriate.

I got these fugly looking #eggplants from a farmer friend. I get free fugly veggies from farm friends if they don't sell everything at market. These are damaged & definitely far from prime condition but still very good to eat/cook with! All free. Free, is my fave price 😊

Some of my #nightshade #starterPlants - #eggplants & #tomatoes.
I was behind on seed sowing starts again this past Winter!
I don't transplant any nightshade plants out into beds/pots until at least 2-3 flowers appear on starters. That helps the transplants to do much better - they're stronger if you wait a bit longer to transplant out.#Wsanec #Zone8 #Saanich #FrugalGardening #VictoriaBC #YYJgardeners #VancouverIsland #PNW #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #FoodPlants #GrowFood #botanical

Some more hasselback aubergine action, this time from Star Infinite Food - the recipe isn't listed on her website so I'll paste it here:
"HASSELBACK TOMATO-BUTTER EGGPLANT WITH BASIL & FETA! Guyssss this might be the best thing I have eaten in weeks!"
Eggplant:
1 medium eggplant
Salt
Olive oil
1/2 cup basil leaves
1/3-1/2 cup fetaFor the butter (you will not need all of this, but you do not want to have too little):
6 tbsp softened butter
6 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepperToppings:
Sunflower seeds
Feta
Chopped basil1️⃣Preheat the oven to 425.
2️⃣Make the butter. Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix to make a paste. If it is not combining, heat in the microwave for 15 seconds.
3️⃣Place the eggplant on a cutting board with two chopsticks on either side of the eggplant halves and make thin slices throughout. Repeat for the second half.
4️⃣ Make the eggplant. Drizzle some olive oil on the bottom of an oven safe pan. Open the eggplant into a fan, add some salt, then add a smear of the butter to each layer. Next, add basil leaves throughout, every 3-4 layers. Repeat with the feta cheese. Place each half next to each other on the pan, then cover and bake for 35 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 and cook another 20-25 minutes, until the eggplant is tender. This may vary depending on the thickness.
5️⃣Top with the basil, feta and sunflower seeds. -
Think I need to take a trip to Brown Munde in Kilmarnock to try these aubergine fritters (this is their photo from Facebook)...

Madhur Jaffrey’s recipes from the 40th anniversary edition of Indian Cookery including aubergine slices in two sauces (Baigan borani)
"Boranis are vegetable salads – often made with leafy greens such as spinach, or with aubergine slices, as here – covered with a seasoned yoghurt sauce. They are loved from Turkey to Iran to Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Chopped tomatoes or a tomato sauce may be added and that is what I have done. The two sauces make for a gorgeous, mouthwateringly good dish."
