| EGGPLANT
(Solanum melongena, S. gilo, S. integrifolium) 25-35 seeds per packet. We offer the best selection of quality heirloom eggplants in the USA. Days to maturity are based on transplants, and are approximate. Most species are from India or Africa, which indicates these plants love heat. Start indoors 8-12 weeks before last frost. Surface-sow and keep moist until sprouts appear, which can take up to three weeks or so. Transplant into the garden when weather has settled and soil is warm. Provide rich soil and ample moisture.

Cannibal Tomato
New!
(S. uporo) Beautiful, attractive plants are covered with loads of shiny
green and red fruit that are shockingly bitter and about 3" across. They
are very cute, as they look like little pumpkins covering the plant. A native
to Fiji and Tahiti, this plant has quite a history, as it is said the fruit was
made into a sauce and used on a cannibal's meal! The leaves were also
prepared as cooked greens. One of the more interesting and infamous
plants we’ve grown. Hardy and easy to grow.
