Eight Eggplant were placed in the outdoor garden. Two types were chosen, Sicilian and Black Magic. This plant grows well in my zone 5.

Sorry that I missed this post. I have to say though your eggplants looked so healthy! By now, you must have quite a harvest of eggplants already!

Ha ha, I was just thinking the same thing!
@Durgan, surely you don't juice your eggplants. How do you preserve them?

Eggplant is not so good this ywar, 2015, but I use the excess for juice.

Twenty seven pounds of tomatoes,four pounds of eggplant and 3 pounds of onions all from the garden were made into a slurry basically juice.Some dill, basil and parsley was added for flavor. Process was to cut into smaller pieces,cover with water, cook in two batches until soft about 20 minutes, blend into slurry, strain through a Victorio mill, then this residue put through a Champion Juicer. Twenty liters of juice was placed in jars and pressure canned at 15 PSI for 15 Minutes for long term storage at room temperature.

I can't even wrap my head around eggplant juice. Do you juice it with other veg? Seems it would be sort of tasteless on its own.
