Squash and eggplant


Yellow squash, and what was supposed to be a white eggplant and obviously is not.

Interestingly, this yellow squash was a transplant from a mound in another location. The squash that came up from seed in the original mound are doing rather poorly,while this one is flourishing. This eggplant is also doing much better than an older one that survived the winter.

In addition to the squash, I picked the first Armenian cucumber today from vines growing at the other end of this bed. I'll use it tonight, along with the last of the Purple Cherokee tomatoes, in tomato-and cucumber salad. There's no need to buy out-of-season lettuce for a salad when you have tomatoes and/or cucumbers.
