Eggplant – Otter Oaks

Eggplant and peppers are a couple of fruit-that-we-call-vegetables that have seasons extending into fall (vs. cucumber, tomato, or summer squash). This will be the second time we have them in the share from Otter Oaks and will be the some of the last things they harvest from the Bronzeville plot. Next year Otter Oaks will be cultivating an acre out in McHenry county. Jarvi said they’re looking forward to having the extra space (only 1/4 acre in Bronzeville currently) as it will allow them to grow more space intensive things like winter squashes as well as space things out a bit more to reduce pest pressure.
