Five Italian, three Japanese and three Bianca di Rosa eggplants, fifteen Japanese, one Lemon and one English cucumbers, Copia, Roma, Goliath, Black Pear, Garden Peach, Sweet Baby Girl Cherry, Sun Gold Cherry, Tommy Toe Cherry and Black Cherry Tomatoes, eight Sweet Banana peppers and one Corno di Toro. Not too shabby for one day.

Don't you just love this time of year? All of these look/sound delicious! We are eating beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, beets and carrots fresh from the garden now, and the garlic is drying nicely.

Hi, Julie, and thank you. It sounds like you have quite a few veggies going yourself. I love this time of year and it is certainly hard to beat fresh from the garden.

Thank you, Monique. As I grow organically, I use chemical free approaches, such as directly murdering the bugs (Suzy's preferred method...LOL) and neem oil worked into the soil and sprayed as a solution. ;-)

No No..you must have misunderstood...I said SLUGSSSSSS not bugs.  Although I have been known to murder a few bugs in my day, just by other methods. Unlike you I do at times resort to a slow torturous poisoning.

I am sure that slug rights activists will be just as upset by your remarks as their bug counterparts.

No doubt.....
While they are picketing my house hopefully some of them will rescue the creatures and take them to a slug/bug sanctuary.

that....that would be the excess water along with some of the bitter alkaloids. Yes, it works well. Also, eggplant should be very well cooked to avoid the bitter taste.
