Aubergine!

As well as growing aubergines (and other things) from seed, I bought one grafted plant to see if it was enough better to be worth the money.
(In terms of growth, it and the tomato haven't get overtaken the seed ones, but it's early-ish days.)
It put out its first flower a week or so ago, and we were a bit concerned as none of the others are in flower yet: we'd just about written it off, but then I had a look underneath it today and there is a little purple blob in there! Turns out that they're self fertile, which is handy.
You'll have to imagine it, though, as apparently LJ Scrapbook is down.
(Still incredibly busy with guests. Other things include a new horsefly-blocking screen for the back door, which means I've been able to leave the door open today without filling the kitchen with the little buggers, although they are still getting me at least once a day when I'm outside; making cushions with pictures of her dogs for my sister for her birthday (see above re: imagining the photo); getting the neighbours' field up the hill ready to take the boys for a few months; and the Kent Country Show, at which we bought Jodie a very stylish chamois leather coat, which you soak in water so that it acts as a little portable cooler: seems to work!) |
