Fiesta Friday #398

The best thing about keeping a garden, other than being able to pick organically-grown vegetables or herbs or flowers at a moment’s notice, is the fact that you can grow varieties of plants otherwise rare or hard to find in the market.

Take these beautiful vegetables below, for example.

Italian Eggplant | FiestaFriday.net


Sunrise Bumble Bee Tomatoes | FiestaFriday.net

Ronde de Nice Zucchini | FiestaFriday.net

They’re not your run-of-the-mill eggplants, or tomatoes, or zucchini. They’re more interesting because of their shapes and colors and tastes.

At times I have a hard time harvesting them because they look so pretty growing on the plants. I think I garden mostly because I enjoy seeing things grow.

If the weather continues to be this warm, I’ll be getting a lot more of these vegetables. Time for ratatouille, maybe? Any other ideas?

    Hi, Angie! Happy Friday to you!

    I love gardening as well! Although, I mostly use my Tower Garden now, but there is something so rewarding in harvesting things that you’ve grown yourself. Anyway, thanks so much for hosting!

    That’s a beautiful selection of vegetables. I love growing in the garden and also managed a couple of aubergines (eggplant) this year.
    Thank you so much for featuring my Tortilla Stack.

      I admit I don’t always manage to grow great eggplants but this year seems different. I find they actually love water! It’s been so wet this year.

      The tortilla stack is ingenious!
