they look like egg plant to me, too and can I say.... Amazing? I have a hard time getting them to germinate on heat pads in the greenhouse and never outside in the garden. congrats on that. if it is a patio baby the fruit only gets to about the size of an egg. ichiban you should pick at about 4 -5 in if I recall correctly ( and you don't... I went and looked it up. it is a 10" fruit. I must have been thiking the hansel and gretel series.... which I have grown). they look to be small enough to dig and transplant. make sure you water them about an hour before you want to move them leaving a nice root ball of soil with them. then put a paper tent over them to reaclimate and grow roots for a few days. then put them somewhere they will get full sun and about 2' of space to grow.
