Jeff ...Diamond is pretty reliable for me, and where you are it should do well...They both should....Keep picking eggplant before they get dull and the plants usually keep pumping them out...
Sue...I start my eggplant a few weeks earlier than my tomatoes, as the transplants can drag their feet...Make sure they have ample root room after transplant, they like more space than either pepper or tomato transplants...
They do best for me in containers ....Italian White is earliest and produces well in any year. The others I grow can really vary depending on the season...I am trying Kamo and a Thai hybrid "Masego" this year, plus Diamond, White Italian, and Morden Midget (another one for short seasons)...I just sent out your seeds Sue, I have extra Morden Midgets I could have sent, but Italian White is getting low...

Another variety that is a showstopper in a container is the Elephant Tusk variety...
