Yeah I don't know if we'll get any eggplants this year. We put four starters in, looking great, and in two consecutive days they were ravaged, and then torn apart. One is now over two feet, and the other three are still struggling to rise up. There are flowers on all four, but it's starting to get cold, I don't know if there's enough time.

Saw a squirrel carrying a black walnut seed as I walked out to the garden; the tree is in the neighbor's yard, they like to collect them -- they "planted" one by our back steps! :) I don't think it's squirrels in the garden, though. It bothers me that the game trail camera isn't seeing any of them though!
