Hi everyone, does anyone have experience with this variety of eggplant? Or any idea what's going on with my eggplant.... Why is it turning yellow instead of purple?

@frÿd I kind of miss the challenges. And not because of the prizes, but because of the themes that were announced for everyone. Please do something like that again.

Now that the tomatoes are ripening in large quantities all at once, we had tomato and mozzarella as a side dish for our barbecue. The small plate was for the kids, and the big one was for us. 😋🤤 #T…

I have another question for the sweet potato experts—a group I'm not (yet ;) part of. When do you harvest them? Right now, they're still looking beautiful.

So who's behind "Line.D," anyway, that I'm supposed to verify my account information there? 🤔
