Is this eggplant a hybrid or heirloom?

I am not sure since I threw away the paper packet they came in, but I can tell you that not one seed germinated. The rest of my garden is thriving (squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, okra etc, etc, etc). This was the only seed that did not germinate for me. I followed planting recommendations and planted in seed starter soil in small peat pots but no luck at all. If you buy I wish you better luck than I had. I ended up buying a couple started plants. They are doing just great.

The color is exactly as shown in the picture, but I wouldn't say it is bright. The color is what I would call eggplant.

many plants give seeds that you can plant again the next year. I have tried to get seeds from the pakman broccoli but it did not put out seeds. will try again this year. Bloody butcher corn can be planted because it is an heirloom. Heirloom plants are especially good for a source of seed because they are not tampered with. If their lines are pure that is. But it does not hurt to try. Part of the joy of gardening is the satisfaction that you can carry on a strain of food yourself. Some hybrid plants will dissapoint you. I have planted early girl which is a hybrid 5 generations out with no changes so this refutes the change that is talked about. Maybe it takes 10 generations I do not know. I got tired of early girl so I quit using it at 5 years. I am a big fan of big beef now. This year I have grown from last years seed so I will see what kind of yield I will get. I even grafted some from last years seed. I hope this helps. Keep growing be bold and enjoy your garden time while you can. More health!

I tried to research the answer to this question. I went to their site and put heirloom tomatoes in the search box, and this tomato variety was not included in that group. I put pollinated tomatoes in the search box and no tomatoes came up in the search box. I am unsure about the answer to the b. part of the question. In this link, many of their seeds are. I will attach it. http://missladybugsgarden.com/1/post/2013/01/botanical-interests-heirloom-organic-seed-bank-giveaway.html

This company is Survival Essentials, not Monsanto. I've looked up many of the seed varieties and they are heirloom. You will see more seed companies popping up to sell heirloom exactly because of companies like Monsanto that are trying to keep people from saving seeds.

It is an egg plant color. It's not the brightest color, but yes Egg Plant is a good description. :)

Not sure...second I believe. I bought a two year old plant. It's leafed out but no flowers yet.

The planter has two finishes - shiny and kind of frosted or brushed. Maybe that is what they are referring to. It is a beautiful planter. I have had it for a long time with my favorite plant, and perfectly matches my stainless steel kitchen.

This is really not a Bamboo variety , but is a very primitive ancient plant that reproduces by spores (like Ferns) they do clump but only attain a height of less than two feet. There are several other varieties ofEquisetum that I am not familiar with. "Happy.Happy.Happy" New Year...as the Duck Dynasty Dude says.

Yes its raw, unprocessed, organic. It is not from one type of flower. That is monoculture farming and not a practice of most organic farms.

I don't remember, However I am pretty sure it is. I haven't used it that much, Because the sprouts get slime all over after a few days.

Laurie, The package says 'Organic' but does NOT have the green and white USDA organic label. The toddsseds.com website hits all the right keywords 'heirloom', 'organic', 'non-gmo', and 'open-pollinated' in their general business description. I haven't followed up with the company...if they're on the level they should be able to provide a copy of organic certification.--please post a review if with what you find out, if you get a satisfactory answer from Todd's.--jylle

Whne I read about it, I think it can be either. Mine's on the outside deck right now (and growing really well) but in my area, I will be bringing it inside for the winter months. Don't know how that will go as I've never had a gardenia before.

I am assuming it is the White and black, but I don't know. I have had mine for two years now and it has grown a lot but it hasn't flowered or fruited yet.
