Hi dmedlin and. Glad you found us here on the Okie thread. Lots of friendly, helpful folks here. It's hard (for me) to tell what kind of chickens you have because the picture is so small. If you post it on the thread as a photo someone will likely be able to identify them for you.
Kass - cool spider. There are some pretty ones, but have never seen a purple one. Maybe you'll get to see that one again and snap a pic of it.
Well, since no one responded to my Wonder Egg post from earlier today, I'll assume that no one has tried growing them before. The plant is supposed to get over 2 ft tall, have purple blooms then develop "eggs" that start out white then turn yellow. I'm excited to see how it turns out.
No snow here yet. My friends in Cache report that the ground is covered in snow there.
Edited post to say that the "eggs" turn yellow, not purple.
There are lots of colors and sizes of Eggplants. I usually grow long Japanese.They are about 6" or 7" long and only aboyt 1 1/2" diameter, very tender and mild, great grilled. They were one of the few things that produced in last summer's heat. I have also grown white with lavender streaks that are egg shaped and about 2" x3".
