Thanks for the inspiration, great work. With another el nino here, finding some drought adapted varieties of favourite veges is emerging as a issue. Your work although for quite different conditions is a nice model of what is possible. t

This was a bad year for the eggplants. Anyway I have some fruits ripening inside for seeds. I found some plants which survived first frost and looking still good, sadly they did not flower until now. @ toad . Sören did you have success this year? Yes, this was a very cold summer. Most of my eggplants made a single fruit of useable size, but smaller than usual. I cure them indoor now, hoping to harvest a few seeds. Actually, it's a great succes, that I an harvest eggplants grown outdoor, in a summer, where greenhouse eggplant growing was a challenge. I'll continue next year with my two lines, and must remember Carols advise: cross the two lines and do a mass selection. With next generation of eggplants growing, I'm surprised and happy - I have four plants grown from the seeds collected last season :-) And a lot of plants of my two lines from the 2014 generation. There's no such thing as a bad summer for a amateur plant breeder ♡

Congrats!
Good news for me too. My plants are very fast growing this year it took them 6 weeks from seed to 15 cm. still small but this is the size I plant them outside. In the next 2 weeks it is time to bring them out so I am right in time. I was afraid I am too late this year...
