Pingtung Long Eggplant

You can't see it, but it's adorable.

The second type of eggplant that we are growing this year is called Pingtung Long Eggplant, a Japanese variety. The green link goes to a description (all our links here on SVF are in the green color seen above so if you see it and you want more info, click any text you see in that color).

This stuff is tough as nails (at least under black plastic) in Western PA and even though the Japanese Beetles took a swipe at it, it appears they decided to leave it alone as they are from the same country.
