I love eggplant and am keen to try more varieties. Our Quarantine Service has just lifted the import restrictions on eggplants (again!) so I intend ordering up big from TGS before they change their minds (again!). I'm keen to try dehybridizing a few and Craig's experiences give me hope that for some at least, it won't be difficult.
Varieties I've tried - Early Long Purple, not a good choice for me, Ichiban, beautiful plant but only gave me one fruit, Lebanese Bunching, very productive and scrumptious and Redskin, very seedy and rather bitter but beautiful fruit with brilliant red skin.
