The listing, Eggplant Extravaganza! Tiered Winner's Choice: 8 Rare Heirloom Varieties to choose from has ended.
Tired of the same-old big purple eggplants? Here's your chance to try some interesting (different!) - and rare - heirloom eggplant varieties. I bought these seeds from Sandhill Preservation Center (great folks, doing great work to preserve the genetic heritage of our food crops) - and they sent me a LOT of seeds - so here I am: passing the bounty on to you!
I have 8 varieties to choose from. This is a tiered auction: bids up to 500 get ONE choice. For each additional 500 credits you get one more choice (501-1000 gets you 2, 1001-1500 gets you 3, and so on to get all 8 the bidding will have to get over 3500.)
What you'll get is 7 seeds of each variety you choose. Here are the varieties (The following descriptions are from the folks at Sandhill):
* Applegreen: 65 days. A nice flavored, round eggplant. Apple green colored skin. Tasty and easy to slice. Nice dwarf plants are very productive. (pic #3)
* Chinese White Sword: 65 days. Long, skinny, very straight, white fruits. (pic #7)
* Diamond: 72 days. Russian variety that is a super heavy producer of fat 6 to 8 inch long slicer type eggplant. A superb type.(pic #4)
* Early Black Egg: 63 days. Small, nearly round, deep purple fruits. (pic #6)
* Long Green: 75 days. Very productive, long slender, pale green fruits. (pic #5)
* Rosita: 78 days. Rose-lavender skin, 6 to 8 inches long, heirloom from Puerto Rico. (pic #2)
* Udumalabet: 51 days. Fist sized. Starts out greenish with purple streaks, then turns a deep golden color with purple streaks. Very attractive and productive. (pic #1)
* Waimanalo Long: 85 days. Very, slender, snake-shaped, dark long purple fruit. (pic #8)
That's a total of 54 seeds - grow tons of eggplant! And the seed is all organically grown!
BONUS! if you use the GIN, you will get to choose 2 MORE kinds of eggplant (I have 5 varieties not listed above)
