I think I will get some eggplants this year but they are tiny. I keep waiting for them to get bigger and they haven't so I think they are ready to pick.

I often eat my eggplant with a bit of green on the bottom (although usually normal size) and they are still delicious - Bonica I find often doesn't lose its green tinge. We had our first rain of the year last night - yay for 1.4mm - not good is it? Hope your plants recover from the climate and pests - gardening aint easy sometimes is it?
