I've had great luck ripening Black Russians on the windowsill.

It was a bit exciting and I flet guilty that I ate it all myself, hehe. Maybe I'll share the next one. As for the weather, 40s are not fun, but it is a part of life here, I'd struggle in cold weather, I complain where it gets under 10 here!<br /><br />Michelle - It does get a bit battered. Good to know eggplant loves the heat, I was beginning to wonder how it survived so well next to the heater which jets out some very hot air, now i know! Will heed the advice about eating it young. :)<br /><br />Jamie - thanks I love it too. So versatile and tasty. Might have a go at making eggplant chips, that sounds fun! Hope you folks aren't too hot up there, cool change is on its way here.<br /><br />Kirstie - you will have to come over and share the next one! Did you survive the heat last night? Do you even have air con or did you have to join hamish in the kiddie pool?<br /><br />Emily - and I do the opposite, I use the Northern Hemisphere blogs to cool down! :) I love all the pictures of snow, and can only imagine what it is like.<br /><br />Lynne - temps in the 40s are pretty nasty but ok if you have airconditioning and lots of iced tea. I think I like the sounds of the cooler temperatures in Napier! Might have to cross the Tasman to escape the summer heat!PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12210701278846436069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2261501257954582541.post-51654907619145402712010-01-12T14:03:48.717+11:002010-01-12T14:03:48.717+11:00Good grief.

The eggplant is probably loving it, lack of heat is the biggest problem I have when it comes to growing that vegetable.
