When aubergines moved to the English worlds it was still a small whitish fruit that resembled an egg, hence the name. Nowadays eggplants come in many different shapes and colours. Personally i love this Idian style brinjal with the pretty white streaks on deep purple and the big green calixes. Just a striking appearance and vey tasty also.

This pretty speckled Romaine lettuce from Austria is my perennial favourite. Unsurpassed in flavour and crispness and not to mention appearance. It makes a great Ceasar salad and it looks even better with some Red Romaine thrown in there too. Coming up soon!

If only frogs ate mice....Lazing in the shade of the remnant jalapeno plants, hoping for a tasty bug to pass by. Lots of jalapeno seedlings got eaten by mice. I guess they like to add some spice to their life too.
