Today, James and I harvested the last of the summer vege’s still going and the results were fantastic.

The eggplants treated with FCRD were rich purple, firm and dense with an average weight increase of 60.7% over the non-FCRD eggplants. I can’t wait to cook them up.

The green beans were crisp and juicy. We saw an increase in weight of 36.43% between those treated with FCRD and those not.

The red chillis showed an increase in weight of 40.1% between those treated with FCRD and those not. We even hinted an increase in chilli-ness between the two. Although that was subjective.
