I have been wanting to publish this post but somehow it got shelved again and again. Today, finally I am able to publish this post about my white brinjals! I can't remember exactly when I bought a packet of white brinjal seeds from the plant nursery.
The misplaced packet of seeds was found and I sowed the seeds. I also sowed other seeds including the purple brinjals in different containers. Some sprouted and none from the brinjal seeds. Days passed and I thought that both the white and purple brinjal seeds have expired and couldn't sprout.

Brinjals harvested from my garden.

Much later, 2 seedlings sprouted but I wasn't sure from which. The seedlings have matured and started to fruit. I was very excited over the first sight of the brinjal fruit.

I didn't keep track of the days but these 2 brinjals look good for harvest.

More brinjals appeared on the plants.

Both the plants are very fruitful.

At one time, I get to harvest about 2 to 3 brinjals, just enough for 1 meal.

Sometimes I get to harvest one 1 brinjal and some malabar spinach leaves.

Looking forward to grow more white brinjals in my garden.
How can men be wise?
The only way to begin is by reverence for God.
For growth in wisdom comes from obeying his laws.
Praise his name forever.

You have an amazing green thumb, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
Thank you, Sandee!
DeleteTotally agree with Sandee :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie!
DeleteSo good you can eat fresh from your garden!
ReplyDeleteYes, but must put in some labour!
DeleteBrinjals are new to me. Amazing how nature works, where you can grow and harvest your own food.
ReplyDeleteFreshly harvested is always better but involves some work.
DeleteLovely post dear! Have a great week! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beauty!
DeleteNever seen them! How interesting
ReplyDeleteThey have white, purple, and even green brinjals.
Delete...is there anything that you don't grow?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, there are lots!
DeleteI've never seen white eggplant before!
ReplyDeleteWhite eggplant is not common here!
DeleteHow do we know when to harvest??
ReplyDeleteWhite eggplants. I never bought or tasted one as hardly could find it in the market. But my boy's tuition teacher did planted some. Small white eggplants. Now she chopped off the plants, maybe plant to plant new plants.
I didn't keep track of the time. Not sure when exactly to harvest. Did some guessing work.
DeleteThey must taste so good being fresh from the garden!
ReplyDeleteI guess they are sweeter!
DeleteTienen que estar deliciosas. Buena semana.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa!
DeleteHow I wish I had green fingers...
ReplyDeleteThen you can start a small garden!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Krishna!
DeleteI had never seen white eggplants before!
ReplyDeleteThey are also not common here
DeleteYour white brinjals look so healthy. They must be very tasty as well.
ReplyDeleteTaste similar to purple brinjals.
DeleteThey look amazing, you are a very talented gardener.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas! Something new to learn with every new plant.
DeleteI have never had eggplant, no idea if I would like it or not
ReplyDeleteYou will have to taste it to know. Have a great day!
DeleteYou're certainly gifted with plants!
ReplyDeleteThank you, William! I find gardening interesting and challenging!
DeleteThe white brinjals are beautiful! I can imagine it is a challenge deciding whether it's time to harvest or not.
ReplyDeleteSome timing were just right but some were too old.
