I'm thinking of growing some of those round green Thai eggplants this year, and I'm hunting out some small red ones that looked like plum tomatoes that I had once. Anyone got any other "grow-them-yourself-becasue-they're-hard-to-find-in-stores" eggplant suggestions?
Check out one called Fairy Tale. Very compact plant, fruit is lavender with white stripes and is non-bitter with few seeds. We use them for grilling and in stir-frys. We got our seed from a local seed house but, I'm sure they'll be available many places. They were an AAS winner last year, not often that happens to an eggplant.

Ross beat me to it! I also recommend 'Fairy Tale.' Excellent little eggplant. It is, hands down,the best tasting and most productive of the small eggplants I've tried.
Another eggplant variety I like is 'Neon' which seems to have suffered from a seed crop failure this year. This is a white-fleshed (firm-textured) type of eggplant. The fruit color is a bright pink/violet -- very eyecatching.
