Lori was cooking eggplant the other day and making baba ganoush. I said she should add curry and call it baba ganesh, but she didn't think that was very funny. I did!
The ground cherries look pretty:
I recently tried to figure out how to eat them, and found out that if they're underripe, and/or raw, they're poisonous. Great! Since I have no idea how to tell when they're ripe - and really, since we didn't plant them, I don't even know for sure that they're ground cherries - we've decided to shift them from the vegetable to the ornamental category.
The cherry tomatoes, in contrast, are delicious. And the little plant we have - that we didn't even plant - is covered with them. Here's a picture of just one branch - it's kind of mixed in with the zinnias, but you can still see lots of tomatoes.
Finally, an unexpected flower - the little plant/weed it's on has I think actually been growing since the spring, but this is the first flower:
It appeared out of nowhere, and I don't know anything about it, but it's pretty. Kind of like Sarah Palin! Except the flower isn't a terrifying threat to our liberty and existence.
