Ciao all,

I'm growing Violetta Lunga, an Italian variety again this year. It's wonderful grilled or marinated, or in fritti (check out Craig's recipe). I grew Bianca from Solana Seeds last year and liked it ok but it wasn't overly productive so I'm giving Casper a try this year for a white Italian-shaped. Lastly, I'm trying Antigua for some interesting colour striping. All will be grown in large 15 gal IKEA buckets with Pro-Mix and I'm thinking 5' bamboo stakes in case of thunderstorms. I tried getting some Thai Egg in whatever colour in a trade, but it didn't materialize. I think the Munchkin would really enjoy growing those. If any of you have a few seed to spare, let me know?
