Pictures 3 and 5 are a little "shabby," but I hope to do better in the future. I am just thrilled to be able to do relatively high resolution pictures here at GB. Thank you. You are both such sweet ladies.

I think eggplant is the most attractive vegetable of all; and your photos are terrific Charles!
(We planted a variety of eggplant in our new fenced-in garden- the owner of the little garden center down the road from us said that this variety has the most beautiful flowers and she uses them in hanging baskets).

Thanks guys! I think eggplant and their flowers are very beautiful. I am growing three varieties, Denise: Japanese, Italian and Bianca di Rosa. I have noticed that the Japanese, which are long and slender, are early producers, especially if you buy them as organic seedlings from tastefulgarden.com.  I cannot wait for eggplant parmesan! And do not forget baba ghanoush, Greg. There are all sorts of yummy recipes:

Thanks for the recipe links Charles. Making me hungry here. I will share a link for my cousin's Eggplant Seafood Casserole. You could substitute any meat if seafood isn't your thing. I grew up eating something similar but just made with groundmeat and no tomatoes. But his recipe is the *deluxe* version.
http://www.homestead.com/larry74/rxeggplantcass.html and a link to the index in case you want to see more recipes.http://www.homestead.com/larry74/Kitchen2.html This is a site my brother maintains and he gets recipes from family and friends so they are all tried and true.
