| Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Sep 1, 2013 2:38 PM Before I started growing eggplants myself I never even knew that eggplant came in white. I think the white color makes it look special. But mainly I grow Gretel because it is a terrific eggplant. Sets so many fruits that keep coming all season long. And it has the benefit of staying a small plant so that you can grow them just about anywhere. [ Reply to this comment | |
