I'm very close to planting those seeds (and 3 other varieties), and I'm looking forward to sampling them! Thanks again!

Going great! Left to Right: Matrosik, Chinese String, Rosita, Millionaire
I was surprised to see little thorns growing on the back of some of the Matrosik leaves. I've never had an eggplant like that before.

Those thorns surprised me too. She'll get a lot of them on her cap too, so be careful! (Worth it, wait until you taste!)GoDawgs wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 3:44 pmGoing great! Left to Right: Matrosik, Chinese String, Rosita, Millionaire

I remember those thorns on a lot of the fruit calyxes, one of the worst was those on a favorite variety of mine (until they stopped making it, since it was a hybrid) - Neon. I just made sure to harvest carefully, and avoid them when removing from the fruit!

For sure! I find that if you handle it on the blossom end you can do it safely.pepperhead212 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 9:39 pm I remember those thorns on a lot of the fruit calyxes, one of the worst was those on a favorite variety of mine (until they stopped making it, since it was a hybrid) - Neon.

I remember reading about Neon but never tried them.They must have been delicious.
I have only ever grown OP ones, but I am so happy with these and Rosita.
