We’re growing aubergine in the garden this year. So far, there’s only been one lonely eggplant, and the snails ate it. But there are several promising purple blossoms. We also have a single zucchini plant. (If you’ve ever planted more than one zucchini, you quickly learn never to do it again.) I’m watching it like a hawk, because it only takes a day or two for a “too small to pick” zucchini to become a squash monster. There are dozens of ears of corn, but none are ready to eat yet. We have easily enough tomatoes to feed the neighborhood, with more on the way. The blackberries are done, but there were enough for three pies, a cobbler, and a batch of ice cream. We’ve had several bell peppers as big as fists. But the biggest producers this year are clearly the grape vines. In a few weeks, we’ll be up to our eyeballs in jelly, juice and raisins.
