Growing local

Keen to try this variety

You know how it is. You go to the local IGA for some milk and you leave with an unusual variety of seeds that you've never heard of. 

We eat a lot of eggplant and I seem to have great success with them (fingers crossed). I'll wait a few more weeks and then germinate a few to start some seedlings. Looking forward to seeing what results.

We go to IGA for baranbah milk as well! Those eggplants look strange.

I had one plant gifted to me by Rob Collings who was a member here.  I'll be really interested to see if you can get seedlings Fiona.

Yes, I had one from BLF too - very hardy and pretty prolific but the skin was a little thick from memory compared to the purple type. Enjoy!
