My wife has invented a new eggplant recipe. The eggplant is peeled and sliced in about 3/8” slices. These are chopped into pieces no more than 2” in any direction and stir fried in olive oil until they are done. Onions are sautéed very slowly. The onions and eggplant is put together and olives, capers and anchovies are added. A few hot or sweet peppers could be thrown in as everything is heated. This is poured over any pasta of your choice. The taste is a little strange, but very tasty.
The spotted cucumber beetles seem to be resisting the sulfur spray. The BT is getting rid of the larvae; but the beetles themselves are hard to defeat. Today will be the third day in a row to spray them. In the past three days in a row of spraying has worked until the next rain. Yesterday when the bugs were sprayed the infestation did not seem any less than the day before.
There are little tomatoes on the upside down tomatoes that were planted mid-season. They haven’t required tying up yet. When the fruit gets heavy they will probably need tying. That is going to make it very difficult to move them into the greenhouse when frost threatens.
