eggplant

I love eggplant!
It's good to fly, deep fly, pickles, stew, roast, etc, etc.
It was hard to grow from seeds and this area is not near enough warm in spring for them to grow.
But in the end of September, we are enjoying so much of them.
And look, they are so beautiful! I can't believe how deep their color is.
This seed is from Adaptive Seeds and they say,
"A traditional Japanese variety of eggplant dating from pre-1860, originating from the city of Shimoda located about 60 miles southeast of Tokyo."
I love this variety so much, already bought seeds for next year,
and also I will try overwinter them in pots!
