Masako, the eggplant, wins best performance in growing and first plant of the second batch to produce a blossom. Her leaves fascinate me (they have delicate thorns along the spine of each leaf; plus, they're very excitable/reactive).
First runner up goes to Golda. She has produced no blossom but a lot of leaves. She caused me panic at first because she wilted so much in the heat; she looked cooked. But, she's adapted and now thrives in the heat. Her leaves are dark and large.
Hillary the cucumber has made a sensational come back in my garden. She got dubbed Hillary due to her poor performance; the first day out, her two largest leaves turned white. I asked people what I was doing wrong, and nobody had a clue what had caused that phenomena. Now, if you were to look at her, you'd think I am an overprotective parent. She's gorgeous, busy growing.
Theodora, Medea, Kate, Elizabeth, Catherine and Teresa are in good spirits. Goliath the Gardenia is out of control; his branches are weighted down with his glorious blossoms. Peanut has produced another puny blossom.
