Sometime in the fall Brahm and I went to Costco and saw the craziest plant for sale in the flower section. It looked like a long stem with miniature pumpkins growing off of it! We poked and prodded it a bit to determine if it was real, or just a plastic decoration (it was real) and contemplated buying it because it was kind of amazing. A baby pumpkin plant? Who had ever heard of such a thing?
Later that week I did some Googling and discovered that this mysterious plant was actually a type of eggplant - most likely the Goyo Kumba eggplant.
The ones we saw were more orange than red - I imagine they get red when they are more ripe?
Anyway if you know me at all, you probably have guessed that I ordered some of these seeds and am anxious to plant them this summer! I'm not sure if they will work because I didn't have great luck with regular eggplant last summer but we'll see what happens.
I love plants!
