No, thanks

The seeds all germinated very well. I have abundant plants but no flowers which means it will yield no fruit. In addition, seed packets that were in this order didn't all contain the amount of seeds they stated, in fact, one packet was empty

So far so good

I started these inside for spring planting. Good germination rate. This is a variety that I've grown for a number of years and always get an over abundance of the sweet little eggplants

Excellent Seed

I only got around to planting some Fairytale eggplant I bought in April 2022 and I have 20 eggplants right now on two plants. Seed germination was excellent - not sure what the other reviewer did to germinate them. I germinate in a plastic bag with paper towel and then plant. I'm growing them in a tabletop hydroponic system. Very excited to try them!

Is this not a good year?

I have grown fairy tale eggplant before and really liked it especially for grilling. I don't know what the seed problem is this year, but I had to plant the whole packet of seeds to get just one seed to sprout. I am hoping this sprout will grow, but after three weeks it is still just sitting in its pot with just the seed leaves. It is in a pot in my greenhouse so it has not had to deal with our crazy weather this year. I start all my seeds in the greenhouse, but most of the new seeds I have planted have not sprouted, but the older seeds have sprouted.
