It makes your eggplants grow really fast!

Thankfully, the heat wave is supposed to break today. We're getting some blessed rain right now. Rain without thunder in the middle of summer certainly is a blessing.

Those are so pretty! How large do they get?

Thank you! XD You're supposed to grow them to 4 inches long but when I cooked with them I cut them at about 2 1/2 inches because I was impatient! At that size, you can only really use them for stir-fries or roast them. Nothing wrong with that, though!
