I have 2 new flowers! And more buds. So it seems I can get another harvest out of this.   The plant is not looking as vigorous overall, as you can see by the comparatively smaller leaves than before, but it’s not in bad shape. I just fed it. We’ll see what happens.  |

I’ve got a bunch more flowers! I’ve been trying my best (or almost) to pollinate, but these stamens are really stiff and you can’t see any fairy dust, so it’s difficult to see if anything transferred.  |

I love the size of this plant . I was also disappointed that it did not win a kit on AGFB. It was Prize Worthy compared to some.

I was bummed I didn’t win, too. I didn’t see any winner announced that week. Maybe it was just bad timing.

Tons of flowers, and I believe there’s even an eggplant or 2 lurking in there.  |

I think a lot of them are ready to eat now. This time, instead of slicing, I think I’ll roast them whole because they’re like the size of cherry tomatoes. I’ll prick them with a fork first so they don’t explode (been there before).   |

I plan to just roast them whole this time with olive oil and S n P. See whether the flesh turns out creamy or not.

I cut off the long front branch that was sticking way out. It had several mature fruit on it so I harvested them.  And then I harvested all the rest.  Leaving just 2 baby ones.  And then I roasted them.  |
