Ukrainian Eggplant Seeds

[MissS]

I have now 5 seeds out of 30 of Chornyy Krasen germinated after about 4 weeks! At least I will get 2 plants.

Well with this variety of seed being so slow to germinate, I think that it's likely that they will all be the same variety. I will be watching to see what results you get.

Sneg Sredi Leta is not true to type. It was supposed to be 7-8 oz. I picked the first few at 4", but they were very seedy, so I picked the next ones at 2". They are cute little white ovals, but the 2" ones are still very seedy! Only one germinated for me, out of 6 seeds I started.

Here is Sneg Sredi Leta

Here is the thorny Gandia leaf. I’d never seen spikes like this on an eggplant leaf before! They are also on the stem. This is on only one out of 4 Gandia plants. (I put the leaf aside while I was working in the garden, and by the time I remembered to take a photo, it had started to dry up!)

I have seen thorns on eggplants. It happens in some varieties.

Matrosik does appear to be true. All 4 of my plants are producing this beautiful eggplant.

That is gorgeous! Almost all if my mattosiks germinated and are strong. I'm also growing a purple striped Greek eggplant called Tsakoniki, shape is halfway between a bell shape and a long thin one. I got the seeds fo that one when I visited Greece. It grows true.

I have not grown all of them out. I'm still watching the reports but it does not look very good. We will just have to wait and see.

Thanks! I see several folks just posted their results and it's helpful because I had been considering ordering a few.
