Well, the daylight hours are getting shorter, and the nights longer…we’re heading toward autumn. This week I harvested the last of the watermelon; they’re tiny but still sweet. The cherry tomatoes are still producing fruit. And some of the larger tomatoes are forming and hopefully will ripen well. I’ve planted my broccoli sprouts in the bags on the upper level. The new pineapple plants rooted well and I planted those, too. And I’ll show you how I made a casserole with the eggplant that I bought from the mobile green grocer last week; it turned out great!
