I've only grown eggplant once, and I don't remember what the seedling looks like although I would think it should look like this:
![]() And not this? ![]() Because this guy (I put 2 pictures together) is right in the center of a pot like he owns the place, and Ping Tung long is planted in it. Both Pots were seeded with 'Ping Tung Long' The first picture is a separate container which was also recently planted. I'm guessing the second picture is the weed? |

Cla, I think it is the other way around. The bottom pic looks like an eggplant according to the link below:

Hmm, we better get some more confirms, that is so odd, there are 2 seedlings like the first plant in that same pot, almost like it was planned (planted two seeds), my compost was cooked near or at 180 degrees so weeds don't come up too often heh. But... I think you may be right. But if that is the case, what is the first pic? I'm 100% sure there are no tomato seeds in that container;D

Top one: Eggplant for sure.
Bottom ones: weeds, if you call nasturtiums a weed. At least that's what they look like to me. |

I'd grow them both and wait and see. I've only grown about 12 eggplant seedlings myself and the last time was back in April, and I can't really remember what they looked like. Grub has just grown his recently so I'm sure he knows better than I.
