All of my eggplant with the exception of the Rosa Bianca are about 1/3 the size of normal. It's been a strange growing season this year. <br /><br />I am saving seed and will have plenty to send you. Hopefully you will get some tomatoes this year.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-7040491129317849212011-08-14T10:52:29.902-04:002011-08-14T10:52:29.902-04:00Robin, I'm so pleased that I stopped by, speci...Robin, I'm so pleased that I stopped by, specifically to tell you about the beautiful Eggplant 'Violetta lunga'; first harvest of 5 beautiful ones. Thank you for the wonderful seed. Eggplant Caponata happening today!<br /><br />Your bounty is wonderful and how tickled I am to see the pineapple tomato! you may have to send me some seed. :) I am looking at only our first ripe one soon to be picked. Our cooler than normal summer has kept the tomatoes/peppers/eggplant coming along very slowly.<br /><br />We have been harvesting a few tomatoes each day and are pleased that that has been the habit the past month... most of our neighbors have NO tomatoes. So I've started more brassicas. Our nighttime temps remain around 50 and this past week we saw our first high 80's.<br /><br />Now I best read your other posts to catch up or I'll never get it done. Have a great week.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160202493785166930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-80811442955068176562011-08-13T14:01:03.533-04:002011-08-13T14:01:03.533-04:00Patricia, that's a wonderful idea!

Although we loved the flavor the production was very low and very very late to ripen. These seeds were given to me by another blogger. This plant has been absolutely amazing. I will be saving these seeds for sure. Those tomatoes are all from a single plant.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-39207467980912344412011-08-09T00:07:39.168-04:002011-08-09T00:07:39.168-04:00Wow that is a huge Pineapple tomato!
