I checked the garden again Saturday, intending to yank the dead eggplant out, but I found it standing straight up again and already has new leaves emerging.

I've been growing it from saved seed for a few years and I seem to recall another plant playing dead for a few days at one point.
Hi, Father'sDaughter,
I have few seeds of Violetta Lunga eggplant. Planing to grow this variety. Is it sweet or bitter one? I know how to take care of the bitterness, just not sure I want to grow one that is bitter.
thanks
