Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Orient Express Eggplant is a robust annual with broad purple tinted foliage ready to harvest in 60 days.  Lovely drooping violet flowers are followed by long dark purple to near-black fruits with a mild flavor.  The production is so heavy it is best to stake the plant.  Best grown in full sun and rich well-drained soils.  Orient Express is slow to emerge but is ready to harvest early.
