It's a bit hot here at the moment and my eggplant plants are not thriving as well but I do have quite a few fruit on the 3 plants.

I really am not used to cooking with them. I did buy a couple of little ones last week and used them in stir fry so really need to start experimenting with them a bit more. Parsley grows like weeds here but my basil hasn't grown well at all for some reason. It is currently very dry again here. I hope you are getting some rain up there but it seems to be around the Cairns area. Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.com
