this summer Donna and I planted a small vegetable garden in our front yard. We decided to plant a few unusual vegetables and we Included an eggplant from Scenic Nursery specialty vegetables. Every year the staff at the nursery select some interesting vegetables including tomatoes, peppers and eggplant. I decided to plant a couple of Eggplant including Puangyok Thai Pea Eggplant.

You can see why its called a "pea" eggplant. I guess that is to be expected. What I didn't expect is the size of this thing. It grew and grew and grew with not a sign of a flower. It was over seven feet tall at the first sign of a flower bud.
