Aussie Eggplant Thread 2007

[Grub]

Here is a home for this season's eggplants. I am experimenting with overwintering and, after pruning, have more than a dozen from last season going strong with signs of emerging flowers already. It will be interesting to see how they yield.

Meantime, just a few new additions mainly courtesy of Andrey. I am really excited by these. I'm hoping to sow some more eggplants soonish, as I do love eating them.
