You Grow Girl™

Its aphid-eating prowess makes it one of my favourites in the garden. I get excited whenever they show up!

I took this photo in the fall of 2006 just after the frost hit and I had brought in both the regular houseplants and some hopeful stragglers including this last eggplant that was just far enough along to make it. I don’t even like eggplant but leaving it outside to succumb is against my nature. Even allergy inducing eggplants deserve a chance.
