You are welcome. I’ve never grown eggplant, but I have come to realize that mostly it is about your soil. Good healthy fertile soil, rotation, and replenishing the soil.

If you grow 60% of your crop for large amounts of biomass left to add back to the soil, it’s helpful. Cover Crops such as hairy vetch, clover, rye to use as green manure etc. then you can rebuild your soil for minimum costs.

Taking off for St. Louis now, will be gone the rest of the day. Catch you all tomorrow.

Hi all, It’s like an oven here this week in west Michigan - low 90’s. Living south of the border style, up early, siesta in the afternoon. Getting tomatoes and lots of cukes. Pickling banana peppers this weekend and making more kosker refrigerator dill pickles. Just love making a meal out of our own produce. Tonight a greek salad with those costa rican sweet green/red pepper, onions, tomatoes and some fresh mozzarella and Italian dressing. Those peppers have a great flavor and the flesh is thicker than the bell pepper. Almost no seeds or membrane. PT on my new knee is going well and in a couple of weeks I expect to start kicking some serious garden @ss around here. Have a great weekend everyone.
