Such a long dry summer for a yard and gardens that are all hand-watered. No rain, week after week into months, and hours of hand-watering weren't enough. We will have to figure out something else next year. Eggplants surprised me by being more resilient than tomatoes. Rosa Bianca and Listada eggplant, and the long purple Japanese eggplant kept producing all summer too.
September is harvest month, and we still have some tomatoes. This was a year of early hail storms that stripped seedlings to the stem, and an unusual explosion of hungry rabbits. And then waiting all summer for rain and watching for the monsoon season, which never came.
Still, we got some gorgeous eggplants.
