Holy Crop!

Whoever would've thunk that from these humble beginnings, actual edibles would emerge? It seems like just yesterday when Dis and I planted tiny starter plants. I was optimistic, but didn't hold my breath. After all, this was my first attempt at growing anything other than houseplants or mold in the fridge. I consider myself a fairly astute do-it-yourselfer. I've done handy things around the house, I've built things, I'vepainted things, I've sewn things...but until now, I'd never grown anything I could actually eat!

So without further ado, it is with great pride that I may present my first ever harvested nasubi (Japanese eggplant)!

I cooked it up with some ground turkey, per Nasus' recipe, and savored every bite (keep in mind, there weren't many of those- it was a small nasubi, after all, and I shared it with B).

Next, what do I see growing here? My first cucumber! Aaagh!

Since I took these photos, several yellow squashes have also emerged...it's shocking! Truly, amazing. Sure, they're just just a few phallic vegetable-like fruits growing in a pot, but I'm pleased as punch nonetheless. You really have no idea.
