I am talking about rebels here.
A rebel eggplant.
Trying to break away from the crowd; make his own way in the world.
He is screaming: “don’t cage me in!” {yes, it is loud in my garden}
Don’t tell him, but he is actually making his way to my kitchen. Very soon.
Eggplant; the other white meat.
On second thought, perhaps I won’t eat that particular rebellious eggplant, he might be too tuff tough for me.
Should I give him the Busy Bee presidential pardon?

You know I have never, ever tasted eggplant! You'll have to keep us posted on what you do with this beauty! Enjoy your day.

if only you had tucked him back into the garden before he became too big for his britches!! (or too big to fit back through the fence!) no presidential pardon. won't be fair to the others 🙂

haha! I'd go with the pardon. He needs to be rewarded for those efforts to remain pure to his heart! (…but then again, eggplant is awfully yummy!)

I think it would be an honor for him to grace your plates, and then your tummies. It's his vegetable life-destiny…unless you'd prefer to photograph and immortalize him. Either way, he will fulfill his green & purple life cycle as nature intended. Just call me the veggie philosopher!

I don't think it deserves a pardon, but I'd consider some Parmesan cheese.

Eggplant is a really popular dish in the part of CHina where I lived, but I could never get used to it. It looks so healthy but…nope. Can't do it. I say pardon!

Hello Suz! I've missed you. I'm finally getting back to visit my old friends. I see you have been busy (oh, busy bee)! I hope to get all caught up and back to reading what you're up to. Hope the kids, the husband the dogs are all doing well.

Nope, no pardon. Eat him with special enjoyment. That is, if he survives the animals you so carefully fenced out to protect him.

If he has some seeds definately plant them!!Reminds me of my silkworms…they cannot crawl but a few inches to the leaves they are fed- and the moths cannot fly. BUT two years ago I took some eggs from a teacher who had yellow silk worms…and mixed them with my interbreeding white ones….and last year when my silkworm eggs hatched I had supercrawlers….and when they emerged from the coccoons there were a few flyers!! Now that's a first. So I am guessing if you plant those seeds you will have a whole bunch of rebel eggplants!!
