Excellent, smooth taste. We chopped it and put it in some pasta we had last night. Very good.

I found them to be the sweetest eggplant variety that I have tasted.
Jeff Did you manage to plant any of the other varieties that I sent? |

Have not tasted those other varieties, so cant comment. Jeff I also planted from you New Long Nagasaki, Chiku You Naya (spelling?). They have both fruited, but no ripe fruit yet.

Here is a photo of Chiku You Naya (spelling?) that I just picked. Picked 4 of them. This one weighs 18 grams-small fruit. All of them about that size.

Your handwriting was probably perfect-its my poor eyes that I bet is the problem. Here is a photo of some Kamo and the Japanese Long Green, along with a chile called San Juan Tsile-well known here.

Looking good, Michael. How long will your season last with eggplants?

Michael,
I notice in Japan that once the plant starts to peter out they prune it down and also root prune with a shovel around the plant. THis way they get a rejuvenated plant that will produce a good sized fall crop. Jeff |
