Looking for Eggplant Pals

[Grub]

Would someone please talk to me about eggplants?

This is my first serious year and I have about 20.

Some sources say stake as for tomatoes, ie, 8ft!

Sheesh! I dun want any more 8ft stakes. I have 62 tomatoes.

Others say they will reach about 4ft.

In each 8gal pot I have stuck a 4ft stake. Will this be okay.

1. How were your eggplants this year?
2. I have one from the Spanish hills, a village, that I hope will be good and I can share seeds for.
3. I have been searchign the www and there is not real dedicated eggplant forum but for one that was hacked.
4. I think Liistada da Gandai and Rosa Bianca look the same in pics I've seen.
5. Ping Tung sounds so great.
6. Thai Green Pea has germinated very late. But it sounds awful. Any backers for this one?

Okay, now talk eggplant to me

Grub.
