You have a good selection. I bought a ton of oddities but they were too small or bitter.

I love Rosa Bianca. Not mushy at all, but it is very late in my zone. Beautiful colors. You may want to cage or use a heavy stake. It is tall.

From what I read, you should have better production with Black King over OP Black Beauty. Burpee subbed BB for their hybrid Black Night on the seed racks. I miss it. Please report back on the hybrid!

There's just something about a purple eggplant that I like more for looks. I grow an OP called Diamond. It is shaped like a cucumber, so it comes in earlier in my climate. I've also grown Long Purple which is similar. Both productive for me.

Ping Tung was stingy for me, nut the others are great. Enjoy.
