After not planting any eggplants last year I decided I had to have eggplants again this year. That required some planning ahead last fall as I cleared out a flower bed near the back door in order to change it over to veggies. Lots of plants (mostly daylilies) got moved.

Anyway my point is I am harvesting eggplants!!

So I have Little Fingers which I have had before. Am always pleased with these. Lots of them and the plants just keep cranking them out.But they are somewhat small as one would expect.

Two small fruited similar types would be Hansel (purple) and Gretel (white). Slightly larger than little fingers but otherwise really similar. Can't find those plants locally any more.

New for me was Parks Whopper. Wow, lovely italian type eggplants and it just keeps on producing. I bought a six pack but maybe will buy more next season. But I will have them for sure.

So join in. Which are your favorite? Which are disappointments?
