Large plants with magnificent purple flowers and great fruit - the long Lebanese-style ones. Mmmm, babaganouge. (And yes, good call - Greek Orthodox salad.)<BR/><BR/>Breadchick, it's all ahead of you.

Love the black russians although our big succes this year are the cherry toms. I put the courgettes in pots which thankfully has limited their growth although I sort of miss being overrun by then. God luck with the Grek Orthadox salad.Ed Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579789564673979283noreply@blogger.com
