Another harvest eggplants was completed today and with four left I was deciding whether to just pick the rest of them to end the season for them. Unfortunately one of them was still ripening and I didn't want to pull it prematurely.
Instead I just took three of them that were done for the year. Now there is just one that is still on the plant ripening at this moment. I might pick it sometime later in the week, but for now I will leave it there for at least a few days.
They weighed in at about four and a half pounds making them a little bit smaller than the last two, but still a pretty good size for any garden. I am definitely happy with them especially when they started growing flowers late and were the last plants to be added to the garden soil. I try to look at the positive things when it comes to gardening.
Pole beans are also the news for today although I didn't harvest any of them. I was looking at them and I wasn't sure if I should pick them today or wait another day. Since I picked three eggplants I decided to wait since many of them were not going to go to seed anytime soon. Tomorrow I will pick some pole beans that are ready and hopefully I will get more than I did during the last harvest.
Here you can see more beans growing along with the flowers.
Just wanted to give you a quick update on my cabbage plants that are growing in the garden. They are growing good because of the cooler temperatures that they love and thrive in. Take a look at them and within a couple of months they should be ready for harvesting.
