It seemed like the eggplant wasn't going to grow for the first month or two and then all of a sudden it seemed to double in size daily! Today I have four eggplants and I believe a few more will be making an appearance soon. The strawberry plants are growing but have only produced a handful of berries. I read that the second year is better for strawberry plants so we will wait and see. The two lettuce plants did great and I harvested chamomile and mint to have in tea this winter. We are lucky here because the air is so dry that it is very conducive to drying herbs.
The tomato plants have grown like crazy which is probably why the other plants seem to not have grown much. I read that you really shouldn't compare other plants to the fast growing tomato plants. We actually have one little yellow pepper on the only surviving pepper plant. I believe the cold killed them seeing that I got a little over zealous and planted way too early.

Nice work! My eggplant is growing like crazy too, but no eggplants yet. I have some squash, but am about ready to murder them since the squashbugs are helping with their demise. I can't wait to eat the tomatoes!
