From my neighbor/landlord!

2. Oh, you lucky thing. Those are gorgeous. Is that a yellow eggplant?

[elleng]

3. Looks like yellow eggplant,

but never heard of such a thing!

From google:

4. Oh yeah!

That's what I love to see. Not a blemish or sign of spoilage on any of them.

I would eat those tomatoes raw and fry up the eggplants. Nom, nom.

[elleng]

7. Will probably do what you suggest, cbayer!

I bought fresh basil, still growing, and will use it too. He grew basil last year, but critters got to it this year, in spite of his light electric line surrounding his gardens.

8. I think you may have to grow your basil indoors.

Much as we like it, insects seem to like it just as much.

I keep a plant on my kitchen sill and pluck it.

Enjoy, ms. elleng.

[elleng]

9. Yes, I'll do that.

I have 2 enclosed porches, and a well lit kitchen. window in pic above.

5. Those golden wax beans are a treasure, too. Beautiful stuff. You've

got a great neighbor!

[elleng]

6. Yes they are a treasure, and he's great!

About to start nibbling!
