    Hi Carolyn, No I have not grown them before. Last fall while in Florida, I went to a Dollar General Store and these seed packs were on sale for .45 cents. I bought them all (4). Planted 1st. pack approx. 30 - 50 seeds and they all grew. I've been giving them to everyone that will take them. There is nothing on box that says ediable although they are an egg plant. So using for Easter egg trees.

    Thanks Theodoros.

    A very clever and appropriate pot. Careful the rabbit doesn't hide the eggs. :)
