My First Plants-Part II

Look what we have in Ma's mini garden...the most widely grown commercial tomatoes!!
Anyway,do you know that "tomato" also has been used as a slang word for an attractive woman. This use was most common from the 1920s through the 1940s and only within the USA.
A purple eggplant..jom belajar pasal eggplant's history
The name eggplant in the USA,Australia and Canada developed from the fact that the fruits of some 18th-century European cultivars were yellow or white and resembled goose or hen's eggs. Aubergine is the British name given to this fruit, from the French aubergine, derived from Catalan albergínia; from Arabic al-bãdhinjãn الباذنجان,Persian بادنجان bâdinjân, from Sanskrit vatinganah. In South Africa the fruit is known as a Brinjal. In India it is called Baingan, which is also the Hindi name. Baingan is also used in Urdu.
The spinaches,most of them stucked in Ma's tiny little pot...oppss...lupa la nak bagi kat Aunt. Nad..nanti aaaaaa
My morning glory!dah besar and in the process of looking for "a shoulder to cry on"..hehehe
Ma's chillies..boleh tahan pedasnya!Since "the eldest" was changing its colour from green to brownish,so today Pa picked it up and put into his special menu;)
