eggplants growing well

About a month ago germinated lots of eggplant seeds - about 150 long purple and about 30 black beauty.




So, it's been more than a month now. Actually ended up getting about 135 long purple sprouts and about 30 black beauty. Thank the Lord, they have all been growing well, with plenty of tropical sunshine, Rota mountain spring water, and love.

118 long purple seedlings are 100% organic - just sunshine, spring water and love. These are for a local farmer. The rest of the eggplant seedlings, including the black beauties have been getting fed Miracle Grow, and, Lord willing, will be planted in my garden.

The four green eggplant seedlings are very young, and hopefully will also go into my garden in another month.


Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoyed this post. Very glad to be gardening for Jesus.

my garden on Rota: 2024 cukes & stringbeans

 1st cucumbers for the new garden


























Thank you for visiting the blog. Hope you enjoyed it. Want to thank God for giving awesome fruiting with the stringbean vines and the cucumber vines.

Jesus said something like, "I am the vine, and you are the branches. Stay connected with me and you will have lots of fruit. Without me, you can do nothing." Lord, help us to live in you.
