Syrian Stuffing Eggplant

nothing better than this

I grew these last year and wow! What a great surprise! They got really tall - over 4 feet - and I had to stake them. I'm not sure if this was a fluke since I've never had other eggplant plants grow that tall. They were heavy producers and provided an abundance of vegetables. My only challenge was that I had zero germination when I tried to grow them again this year, but I'm going to chalk that up to my own mistakes and try again next year.

These are great eggplants, particularly if you like to stuff them. For recipes look at any Middle Eastern cookbook. They are doing very well in my garden and are early and heavy producers. I haven't had any problem with disease or bugs, and I make sure to fertilize occasionally. When they were establishing in the garden I would do regular foliar sprays of fish/kelp emulsion. They will be grown again next year!

flower was beautiful, grew easy. so easy I had a house fire and was at a hotel all summer long. occasionally I'd come back to pick a few from the garden. I put them in the ground and came back a few months later and they were ready and yummy
