Black Beauty

From purple flowers, aubergines grow. We have two fruits growing now, with the promise of a third. We'll not get fat on that, but it is exciting watching the progress.

Promise of things to come ... nice to have them in the garden..

Such a wee beauty!

[Molly]

A lovely capture ... I shall look forward to seeing it progress too!

They are a beautiful looking veg, but after spending two weeks in Turkey on our honeymoon, eating aubergine in every different way imaginable every day, I have to confess to not being keen on them

[Lesley]

Lovely shot. Hope it continues to grow well.

[Maggiemae]

Ive never seen an aubergine in full growth flight! Are you in Italy - think about lasagne!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

yum, I must grow these again, they are so delish!

[Valerie Chesney]

Looking great....so pleased you have some growing..would like to see it fully grown.

[Babs]

Looks good. We had stuffed aubergine for dinner a few nights ago, delicious.

[Wylie]

such a tiny little fellow, can vegetables be cute?

[Catherine P]

Lovely composition

[Denise (lyndemc)]

It's exciting to see the fruit of a plant.

[Jennie B.]

Hope you get better results than we did. Not a good crop for us this year 😔

[Rosie Kind]

I used to grow aubergines on my window sill. They are lovely and we are having one stuffed for dinner tomorrow. A lovely photo

[Merrelyn]

They're not my favourite food, but I love their colour.

[Pat Knowles]

Such a rich looking prize appearing there. You know I don’t think I have ever tasted an aubergine! I’m a,most ashamed to say that. Are they a fruit or a veg?

[Cazzi]

I hope this gets to full size and not eaten by pests. Aubergines have such amazing colour.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Is this the same as what we call Eggplant (which is a ridiculous name because it doesn't taste or look like eggs!)? I love watching plants like this grow- great shot!

[Leslie]

It does look like what we call an eggplant , just very small here

[Kathy]

I like to see them as they emerge looking like eggs on a plant. The color is beautiful.

[Issi Bannerman]

@olivetreeann Yes, it's the eggplant! Funny how there are different names sometimes. Your zucchini is our courgette too!

[Issi Bannerman]

@happypat I think it's negotiable, but listed as a fruit.

[Dianne]

Such photogenic fruit/veg.
