The frost a week or so ago killed all the eggplant and pepper plants. The peppers that were on the plants were soggy. The eggplants were planted elsewhere and did not receive any attention. When the plants were pulled off Saturday, there were a lot of eggplants still on them. They appeared to be firm, so they were picked and taken inside. They wound up in eggplant parmesan Monday night and were delicious.
The eggplant parmesan was served on a bed of arugula, which was wonderful and accompanied by a side salad featuring mesclun, arugula, radishes and onions from the garden. Just because the winter comes does not mean the garden won’t feed the gardener.
Once again the perfect garden is being planted in my head. Learning the lessons from the summer, most of which are positive this year is important in planning the garden and the choice of plants to start in the greenhouse.
