Hi
I grew/ tried to grow, my eggplants in black pots last season too. :nod: I might try that again, or perhaps grow bags.
.
I didn't start my own eggplants this season. I thought I might buy some plants instead. My husband bought two Bonnie plants. One generic no named white eggplant, and the one plant that I did not like last season. Patio Baby. I have grown some nice eggplants before, in the garden and in pots. Perhaps last year just wasn't my eggplant year.
.
I sure hope I get some this season! I love them roasted in the oven.

I did get some Apple Green, but those little guys were very, very seedy.

Thank you for the reply
