Eggplants

"I doubt that imagination can be suppressed.
If you truly eradicated it in a child he would grow up to be an eggplant"
U. Le Guin 1929

Grow these beautiful big plants in a decorative container in the sunshine for their large and delicious fruits. Yes, eggplants are like tomatoes; although grocery stores carry them in the vegetable section, they are actually pear-shaped berries. They come in glossy black, purple, green, yellow and white as well as a variety of shapes and sizes. Most cultivars need at least 100-150 warm, frost-free days to bear fruit.
