You know that's something I've never eaten. I'm in a real rut as far as veggies go;) I've been tempted because they are so beautiful to look at. Marnie
Joy: Hello again to you too! I was *really* surprised to see the heart-shaped pattern -- made me think twice about cooking it ;-)
Marnie: I love the look of eggplants as well. There's something about the shape and the depth of the colour that appeals to me (white ones are the exception). Eating them...well... it's always a hit and miss for me. Sometimes they're really bitter and they do have a habit of soaking up a lot of oil :(
our friend Ben, Karen: Thanks for sharing your grins!
"The Garden" is located half-way up the mountain, a 30 minute walk from the downtown core of Montreal. It's surrounded by yards with velvety green lawns, precisely spaced annuals, and perennial beds planted according to designers' exacting specifications, a large percentage of which are maintained professionally to some degree. In contrast, shaded by maples, birches, and an elm, this garden is a semi-refereed free-for-all where plants that are there because they looked interesting at the garden centre vie for turf with the plants that just miraculously sprouted out of nowhere. It is the stage for myriad dramas involving life, death, rebirth, and the basic struggle for survival against the forces of time, nature, and the gardener (me).
About the Garden Keeper
KD -- she's the Garden Observer, keeping an eagle eye on whatever is happening (or not happening) in the garden. She's sometimes lazy about maintenance but loves watching the garden evolve according to its own rules when that happens. She is content to let new plants grow by nature's design, but reserves the right to reorganize, rearrange, replace, repopulate, and redesign (particularly after trips to the nearest garden centre, and especially in the spring). Fall will typically find her frenetically burying bulbs in the garden because she couldn't resist buying "just a few more".
