I grow a lot of peppers but this year has been very annoying with ants farming aphids on them, it's a constant battle. Eggplants, on the other hand, just grow here without any effort. Put them in the ground or a good sized pot, make sure they're watered daily, and eat those beautiful purple bastards. I usually do Chinese eggplant or fairy eggplant.

Edit: they're also really pretty with giant rich green leaves and the iridescent purple fruit
