My round up as the season ends:
I grew five varieties this season - de Barbentane, Louisiana Long Green, Pingtung Long, Snowy, and Violetta Lunga. I had a shocking year with a serious green vegetable bug infestation that all but destroyed the later ripening varieties. I did however get lots of LLG. It's a great eggplant being both early, at least it was for me, and very productive. Two plants produced a lot more eggplants than I could possibly eat. I got just a few Pingtung Longs. They were excellent. The other three failed miserably as the dreaded GVB seemed to love them almost as much as they loved my tomatoes!
LLG will definitely be back.
