Our backyard was laid to waste some time ago by four chickens. In an effort to get some greenery back into the yard, my wife bought a few plants from Bunnings. The kids were with her and, to keep them engaged, she offered to buy them a plant each. My youngest chose an eggplant, which my wife was sure would die.

The eggplant has been a huge success. The first fruit was only golf ball sized, but the second one was this whopping great fruit!
