It looks good, doesn't it? Nice and eggplanty shaped, shiny and ready to pick?
Well it's not! Look how little it is! It's teeny tiny eggplant for fairies! And no, I don't have a giant thumb, it really is a miniature eggplant.
What's wrong with my eggplant? It is over a year old now and has produced around five fruits. The first two were huge, great big glossy eggplants, the next few medium sized, and now this, fairy food.
So I googled and googled and came to the possible conclusion that my eggplant plant is lacking in nitrogen. Well, not the eggplant plant as such, but the soil. So I googled homemade fertiliser, and I have come up with a superfood recipe. It's gross looking, so no photos, but it was hardly rocket science and just the basic idea of what I used should suffice.
So I grabbed a bucket and started. First of all I made a quiche, because I needed eggshells for calcium. A dozen eggshells went into the bucket. Then I had a cup of tea, I can't remember what tea has, but it's good too. Tea leaves into the bucket. Then I cleaned out my fish tank, because fish tank water has heaps of nitrogen in it. Into the bucket it went.
It was all a bit euwww, but grabbed a stick and broke up the eggshells as much as I could. In retrospect, I should have crushed them up first. When the eggshells were quite small, I poured the lot into the soil around the eggplant.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I'm assuming having a
blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web savvy so I'm
not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
