The elderly lady loves to eat brinjals and so she grows them white. But this time she grows the purple variety. She believes that eating brinjal is good for the joints. I suspect that for the elderly ladies, any fruiting vegetable that gives off the mucilaginous substance ..... when eaten ... they believe .... would help the joints. But I don't like eating them .... LOL
Another member is growing this in the CG and they have produced pretty lilac flowers. Now I can't wait to see the fruits even though I have never tasted or eaten them before. It's so exciting to see fruits grow from these lilac flowers :-)
