Freezer is already full, wife is pi**ed. Got a little overzealous this year. I need to make some hot sauce or something…

I tend to overcommit early and get lazy on the backend.

Mystery heirloom eggplants are orange...?
Husband brought home a mystery varietal eggplant start. At first, I thought it was the white and green striped variety, but then they started turning orange. Some of them straight up look like pumpkins.

Question 1: does anyone know what kind this is??

Question 2: how do I know when they're ready to harvest? They just keep getting oranger and oranger.

TIA!!!

What did you grow for the first time this year that you're planning to plant again next year? I'll go first: this is one of the celery plants I grew this year- it wasn't woody at all despite what I've heard online and really good.

I lost a couple in an inground bed to bugs unfortunately, but the rest did extremely well

This honker was 6 inches wide at the base when I cut it out. (I was doing cut and come for a while but I was getting so much, I just cut most of my plants out last week)

That and sungolds! I do like cutting them up for salads and stuff (I do not like whole uncut cherry tomatoes- it's a texture thing)

They take pride in their craftsmanship and it shows. Halters are made in small batches and their "made to order" philosophy sets them apart as a provider of quality leather goods and service world wide.
