Healthy, organically grown eggplant and tomatillo seedlings. There is nothing like a fresh pan fried eggplant from your garden in the summer to make your dinner spectacular! Larger eggplants are perfect for the grill or eggplant parmesan. Eggplant is a staple vegetable for us in the summer- if picked when smaller, they are tender and delicious.
Tomatillo fruits are so fun with their paper husks and bright, fruity, acidic tomatillo taste. The few plants we had were so prolific that we were able to make enough salsa verde to last through the winter last year.
New this year: Annina Eggplant, Chinese String Eggplant, Listada di Gandia Eggplant

Chinese String Eggplant-NEW!Baker Creek Seeds says "This is the most slender, tender and best-tasting variety we have grown! This marvelous eggplant is so sweet it is even delicious raw in salads, and this buttery, tender East China variety is our top choice for doing just that!
