Ages ago we planted some thumbelina carrots (Daucus carota sativus) and a variety of eggplants in small containers on the deck. I thought this would be lots of fun for my oldest, Q, to grow, pick, and eat.

Yesterday Q decided it was time to harvest the little guys and has been enjoying their sweet flavor and cute look.
