While I was outside getting some tomatoes for lunch, I happened to notice a splash of colour amongst the tomato leaves I hadn’t seen during this season before…. the unmistakable flash of purple! Hidden away, one of my eggplants had flowed and now formed fruit!
I checked the other eggplants, and while all are flowering, only one other plant has starting to form fruit. This particular plant however is very special to me because I have grown it from seed! I have accomplished something I’ve never done before – grown an eggplant from seed. That feels pretty good really 🙂
Penny's Garden: a harvest beyond my front door 
Wow, eggplant from seed! That is awesome. I love to garden, too, but I grow things (mostly tomatoes) from small plants.
I started my eggplant seeds indoor this month but it will many months before I can harvest.
Well done Penny. My lebanese eggplant flowered, produced one tiny eggplant and promptly died. The others are just starting to set fruit now.
Hey well done! I wish mine looked that good!
Congratulations, that’s great! They’re lovely!
Hoorah! Been waiting three weeks for my eggplant seeds to germinate under a grow light, but no signs of life. Stubborn little things . . . but you have given me hope!
