| First year growing this variety and very, very pleased with performance of these plants. Eggplants are normally hit or miss here in Central New York State, unless they are container grown, but this variety put all the other to shame. Plants were healthy and had really good yield. They never quit setting fruit. Picked them mid-size so never found any bitterness. |

| This year was the hottest July in Cincinnati history and Nadia loved it. Plants got 6 feet tall and had minimum 6-8 fruit each, all picture perfect. Seeds germinated easily with bottom warming. Got them out late (mid-June) but still did fantastically. Water regularly and side-dress with fertilizer when first bloom appears. I use 6-26-26 in spring, side-dress with 12-12-12. |
