Nothin' Better!,

"I'm a huge eggplant fan. As a substitute for a constant stream of meat based dishes, eggplant can't be beat.
Growing eggplant was a first for me this year and out of 3 varieties, this one is my favorite in all possible respects.
Germination was fantastic for this seed packet and the tiny sprouts were strong right from the start. After transplant, I lost none, which can't be said for any other veggie in my garden. The production cycle was very quick with our hot Norfolk summer starting early this year.
I thought the poor plants might get worn out early, but they simply kept on setting fruit in a reliable fashion. Because so many survived transplant, I wound up with some that had to remain in 16 inch containers. These produced just as much as the ground plants though the fruit was slighly smaller.
The eggplants themselves are extremely tasty, with smooth flesh that lacked bitterness even if I left them on a few extra days. Seeds were small and skins very easy to remove.
A delicious specimen I heartily recommend!"
