Ichiban is a good one. Try it grilled or in green curry.

How exciting!!! You can also slice and stuff it in the middle before grilling, marinating, or broiling...it's amazing!

Basil,tomato and eggplant soup is one of our favorites. I also do a lower cal version of eggplant Parmesan,roasting the eggplant without batter instead of frying with batter or bread crumbs.

A pre-sprouted plant ready for planting; my grandad called them sets - just stuck in my vocabulary.
Bonnie was the brand/company on the plant. |

You stinker! Now you're ahead of me. My fruits havent pushed out past the calyx even though I got flowers first! Too bad you didnt get the eggplant in focus.
Must be hot where you are. It's 84 deg F here which is really hot for here. My biggest fruit is my Barbarella. You have just Ichiban variety? You have one plant? |

Nice looking plants/fruit to be
I have 5 Bonnie Ichiban plants - all have flowered; fruits have emerged on 2 with another 5 or 6 fertilized flowers. About 20 additional buds in total. I also have 3 Black Beauty plants from Burpee seed. They are about a week behind - buds on two of the plants and a flower has bloomed in the last - about 15 buds between the three plants. And yes - plenty of heat here: 96 here today! Last edited by WilburMartin; June 23, 2016 at 11:15 PM. |

Are you seeing any dropped buds or unfertilized flowers?
My 'fairy tale' drops buds like crazy. But it also produces them like mad... Last edited by Bodhi Peace; June 23, 2016 at 11:23 PM. Reason: emitted word |
