For all you that grow veggies, fruits and herbs. What was your favorite home grown edible this year? Did you try anything new?
For me this year I planted several new things..but my favorite has to be the fairytale eggplant. This one you pic at about 4 inches and they are so good. They do not have the bitter taste some eggplants have and you can eat the skin and all on them. I have tried them sauted with onions, garlic and zuhini. I have also had them just cut into bits size pieces and steamed....such good flavor and a really easy and prolific plant to grow.
I also tried sungold cherry tomatoes first time this year and they are a wonderful variety also that I will save seeds from.
So what is your fave from your garden this year?

Mmmm now that's difficult. I don't think I can choose just one as I really enjoy my own rhubarb, blackcurrants, apples and tomatoes. There again our aubergines are rather tasty and so are the raspberries. I guess I just love all my home grown stuff.

I have some Okra about ready to pick, my beans and tomatoes went the way of a lot of my garden this summer in the heat and drought.
RiverRock, Australia is very strict about what can be sent into their country, so check out their laws before making a seed swap and the U.S. has some restrictions to some countries too. An Australian friend of my youngest daughter has gotten two warnings because friends from here in the States have sent her candy bars with nuts in them, one more and she gets a $250 fine.

Sorry, but I'd be worried about seed swapping. australia has very few virus', and seeds are a great way to transport some nasty bugs as well. i know seed companies here have to coat seeds in fungicide as well to protect them during storage.
I think seed swapping sounds great, but have no idea about the legalities of swapping out of the state.

|
We grew some tomatoes and lettuce. I've grown tomatoes many times earlier, but for the first time I tried to grow some of my tomatoes in a hanging container. It's partly been a success, though the result hasn't been quite as good as I've hoped.
The lettuce made some wonderful salads - together with some of the carrots from our garden.  Unfortunately, after a while, some of the lettuce got eaten by slugs.  But now I've made some protection so that the slugs can't get to the lettuce and eat it.
Best,
Anette
