I saw a great receipt for eggplant the other day. You cut it like a hasselback potato, and stuff with sliced tomato and mozzarella, then back. Top with basil. A baked, caprese eggplant main dish. Looked wonderful!

8:14 am
HarryHood
I'm hoping they're not all uprooted by the *((*& chipmunks and squirrels
8:14 am
HarryHood
yes - you plant them now so they can make roots before the ground freezes, but not too much top growth.
8:15 am
HarryHood
actually I haven't tried since we lived in NJ, so I hope they'll be ok with a cold winter.
8:15 am
bichon
squirrels like garlic? I guess you could alo plant carrots in the fall too
8:16 am
HarryHood
no - I think if they try i t they won't eat it. But they explore, and they'll just uproot them and leave them there.
8:16 am
HarryHood
they're really hyper right now, getting fat with acorns and such.
8:17 am
