I have no luck with the larger eggplant. I'll only get 2 or 3 the most. Otherwise I would
grow the larger ones like black beauty, alongside the asian ones.

I liked all the asian ones I have grown. To me they are all pretty much the same, even
the green one's. Very productive.

The one's I have grown in the past, Machiaw F1, Thai Long Green, Ichiban, Ma-Zu, Casper, Louisiana Long Green, Black Beauty, and Diamond. That's it.
