Boy that salad looks absolutely delicious. We have tried Egg Plant several years in a row, but have had very little luck growing these tasty vegetables.
Upon reading about Egg Plant I think that the weather is a little cold in this neck of the woods. The info I found states that if you have temperatures that fall below 65 degrees at night the fruit will have a hard time setting.
I had a problem this year with powdery mildew. Before I realized what it was, it was all over my squash and cucumber plants.
I found a very simple remedy for it, and it was the answer.
2 tablespoons of baking soda/gallon of water, sprayed on the infected plants once a week.
Looking at some of your squash vines and egg plants, they look very similar to what was appearing on some of my plants. It is a little late in the growing season, but if you think that they have powerdy mildew, you may want to give this solution a try.
Your garden looks like it was a winner this year @plantstoplanks

Thanks so much for that tip about the mildew! I'm always happy to have another easy remedy for common problems. We will definitely give the baking soda spray a try.
Eggplant usually does really well down here since it stays pretty darn hot even overnight in the summer, but I think our seedlings kept getting eaten early on. This one finally made it past that stage, so I'll be happy to get at least a few of them off before the cooler weather finally sets in. A few years ago we had so many coming off the plants that I started getting sick of it, so at least this year I didn't get burnt out on it and will still very much enjoy whatever we get.
Thanks for popping in and happy Friday!
