We don't know why this bird came to our neighborhood. She might be trying to find food such as frogs and snakes.

Do you familiar with this bird?

Growing Eggplants in the Small Pot - Food Variety 41

We know the eggplants come from warm regions, so, they should grow well in our "hot" climate state.

First, just for "experiment" purposes, we bought a very little plant from the Walmart Neighborhood nursery, it is a kind of a starter or a transplant plant, and then we transfer it in our little pot.

Like to other our potted plants:

- we water them almost every day 

- and give them fertilizer at least once a week.

After several weeks, we saw surprising thing that is a beautiful flower. Purple color. Never seen before.
