    That is an awesome yield. I really miss having a garden. Where I live now is just too shaded for a garden. But gardening is really rewarding. Although I did cheat I used the weed mat and the watering drip line. But I did still have to go out and water when the irrigation got shut down which was really often. Good job on your garden!

    Question, so I am a vegetarian and I have never eaten an eggplant before. How do you eat those? They must be good if you included them in your garden. Not sure why I haven't eaten one.

    I used to bake them, then cut them into slices and fry them, with cheese and marinara sauce on them. Mmmmm! Good!

    No, we find ways to freeze it. Some veggies you blanche first, some you cook first etc.

    OMG I am so bad, I have never even had marinara sauce..... CRAP...…. But your recipe sounds great.

    Embarrassing moment, I guess I have had that sauce, I just asked someone what it was they said like a pizza or spaghetti sauce ha ha, I guess I have had it so I edited this comment. ha ha ha :)

    That sounds awesome. I will have to try the eggplant soon. I once bought one and never cooked it. I should have just looked up a recipe I guess.
