Fifth time's the charm

After 4 summers in a row of failed attempts, I have finally succeeded in cultivating eggplant.  Behold the fruit of my parking strip:

Isn't it pretty??  There are some slug nibbles but it's otherwise good.  The flesh is smooth, deep purple, and feels heavy for its size.  Perfect!


Nevermind.
