X.XX Greene. Growing nicely, has a bit of a doughnut shape to it.

X.XX Greene, on the same plant as my previous X.XX Greene. Rather impressed. For whatever reason the plant is throwing megas left and right. I’m tempted to let them both grow to see what they end up at.

2222 Geinger x 2356.7 Mendi, 10 DAP. My plant is more or less written off as it wasn’t growing like I wanted. My fault, the soil where I planted it is pretty lacking. Regardless, looking forward to growing the cross next season.

X.XX Greene. Hopefully has lots more growth left in her. Nice and solid and green at this point.

X.XX Greene x Open. 4.92 pounds. Had to harvest it earlier than I had hoped as it was pushing against the cage support. 25” circumference.

Giant eggplant (5.6 Bennett). Curious as to how it’ll grow out with those lobes. So far they’re fused together.

5.6 Bennet eggplant. All lobes are fused at this point (to adds the stem end). Definitely a funny looking thing, and fun to grow.

Megablossom on 5.6 Bennett eggplant.

2356.7 Mendi x 2069 Stelts around 518 pounds. Wouldn’t be surprised if she is heavier.
 
Friday, August 23 View Page
2069 Stelts x 2356.7 Mendi around 473 pounds, probably light to chart. I’m loving the color though, and the shape.
 
Friday, August 23 View Page
2222 Geinger x 2356.7 Mendi estimates at 470 pounds. This is the plant I had written off earlier in the season. It’s probably around 150 square foot, the main split, haven’t buried any vines, something chewed the blossom end in two spots (they’ve healed but have dried Daconil on them), the stem area has growth splits and is leaking sap. Have to put a fan on that as I just cleaned it all up. Out of my three plants, this one is by far the healthiest plant wise.

7.95 Young harvested today. Can’t complain, the thing grew in the shape of a C and I haven’t had any BER issues this year. Still have a couple more that’ll hopefully keep growing. The weather has been rather up and down here… wet, then hot and humid and dry, then cool and wet and so on.
