eggplant and pyrite

I'm excited to be having some success with my eggplants this year. Last year was a total bust for them because of the crummy weather. They are doing much better with this summer's heat. Me? Not so much. I feel wilted. At least there's a bit of a wind today, but I still think I'll have to wait until the sun gets low before I can get some much needed maintenance done in the garden. Until then I will camp out at my desk beside an open window with a big glass of homemade iced tea and work on my painting of this little guy as I am serenaded by the sensual sounds of the Lambada ice cream truck (seriously).
