I sent in my orders for seeds this year (mostly stuff that can be direct seeded). I went ahead and ordered some stuff for next year so I'll have it on hand to start this winter. But I got a bunch of different kinds of eggplant so I don't have to search for plants next time, wherever I end up.
Typically I order from different place in a round robin sort of way, and I have to start that over this year because my seed is so old now from the last time I tried to garden (while I was still sick).
This year I ordered from Strictly Medicinal Seeds, Pinetree Garden, and Seeds of India. Next year it'll be Johnny's, Baker Creek, and Kitazawa. The more eggplant, the better!
Coming for starting for next year:
