I've never seen the actual 'plant' before. I rather like it. The flowers are neat, too. I don't really care for eggplant, but keep thinking that eggplant lasagna might be pretty good. |

I didn't like it in the past. You really have to watch how you make it because eggplant sucks up oil like crazy.

That, or it just isn't very tasty if it isn't thoroughly cooked.

I bought a 2.2L bottle today for mixing up some aspirin water in. I figure it must be about 1/2 gallon.

They say it works best on tomato plants but how well does it work on other plants?

I'm thinking of mixing 1/2 aspirin tablet to 1/2 gallon of water.

I decided to run a search on ways to tell if an eggplant might be bitter and found this article. It looks like there's more to consider than just bitterness. Everyone should know about this important information . You may want to read this as well. |

I remember learning years ago that mustard greens have nicotine.

Maybe I shouldn't try to grow eggplant?
