Eggplants

Eggplant, or aubergine, as the Brits know it, deliciously adapts to recipes by taking on the flavors it is cooked with, making it quite the versatile veggie. While it's growing, the lavender, star-shaped flowers and large leaves make the plants downright beautiful. Eggplants are frost-sensitive, growing and producing in the warm season, but they are just as happy in a container as in a garden bed.
