I only grow one variety -- Italian long violet -- in my raised beds. What I discovered is that for me the seeds I saved from my first year of growing eggplant outperform the original purchased seeds. Last year I was unsure of my saved seeds, so I started some purchased seeds as well. I ended up with both germinating and eventually going out into the garden. The plants from the saved seeds really out produced the ones from purchased seed. This year I didn't bother with the purchased seeds at all.
