28 June 2008 - backyard veggies

Friday's hot and dry weather nearly scorched my gardens.
Today is about 20 degrees cooler, cloudy and humid.
Go figure.

When I went to Ace Hardware,
the last Japanese eggplant on the plant rack called to me.
It looked healthy and happy so I bought it.
Now, it's right at home in my garden (far right).

heirloom "Brandywine" tomato blossoms

I'm glad I bought this early producer at HerbFest.
I hope the fruit ripens.
Otherwise, I'll be making soup with green tomatoes.
