"i must give you old seed. let me get fresh ones" eeek! old seed? oh well. now they are 1" high and transplanted. I planted 5 of them in my own tray to put them in the garden to see what they are.

Where are your Asian friends from?

Two chinese purple varieties. I used to buy them from Asian market.
Indian . They are the size of large egg. The name eggplant fit those best.
