Michael,
Sounds like I did the right thing then. I thought it was overdone a little, but my friend said no when I described it to her in detail. Oh, and the grill was quite hot. I've never really grown or eaten much eggplant before now. I guess that shows.
Last year my friend, that I mentioned earlier, made the best eggplant parmesan I've ever eaten. She used store bought eggplant. So I made the deal if I grow eggplants and give you some eggplants will you make me a bunch of eggplant parmesan and she agreed to that. I also told her I'd give her seedlings so she could grow her own.
Enjay,
I only have experience with 5 varieties of eggplants. Of those 5 the best germinating and growing plant was the old Black Beauty. I say old because as I recall it was introduced in 1902 by Burpee. It was in my 1927 Condon's seed catalog as well as my 1935 Wood's Brothers catalog. I think it's kind of cool when you look at real old seed catalogs and see things that you're growing.
Randy
