Gourmet Striped Beauty
Listada de Gandia Eggplant, originating from Spain, is a captivating heirloom variety known for its ornamental appearance and delightful taste. Its name pays homage to the region of Gandia in Valencia, where it is believed to have originated. This eggplant species belongs to the Solanaceae family and thrives in warm climates.
The plant flaunts lush foliage and striking fruits. The eggplants exhibit an unusual elongated oval shape, displaying a vibrant color palette of purple with white streaks or stripes running along the skin, giving them an aesthetic appeal reminiscent of a watercolor painting. The medium-sized fruits typically mature to about 6-8 inches in length, boasting a glossy, tender skin.
Regarding taste, Listada de Gandia offers a mild, slightly sweet flavor with creamy flesh, making it a versatile ingredient in various culinary dishes. It's ideal for grilling, roasting, frying, or adding to stews and casseroles.
When cultivating Listada de Gandia from seed, it thrives best in well-drained, fertile soil with plenty of sunlight. Start the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost, then transplant them into the garden after the danger of frost has passed. The ideal temperature for growth ranges between 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Ensure the plants receive consistent watering and sufficient space to spread, promoting healthy growth and abundant fruit production throughout the growing season.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Eggplants prefer moderately fertile, well-drained loamy soil supplemented with plenty of added organic matter and a pH of 6.0-6.8. Eggplants require heavy water and warm soil.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds directly in warm climates only. Because eggplants need plenty of water and warm conditions to grow, production accessories such as drip irrigation, plastic mulch, and row covers are a good idea. All eggplants are chill sensitive.
Harvesting & Storage: Begin harvesting early when fruits are half their mature size; young fruits are more tender and early picking will increase yields. Cut the fruit from the plant with shears leaving some stem attached.

Let customers speak for us
I grow this in old litter boxes for a bunny & Guinea pig rescue- it is a great treat! Grows fast, thick and moist. I also grow it in my catio for my cats
High quality saffron corms that shipped when they said they would. They started sprouting in my cabinet within a week so definitely plant them quickly after receiving.
They looked good when the plants arrived. Waiting for planters to transplant so they'll have more room, but not planting in the garden to avoid the mint from spreading all over. They're still alive....
Beautiful seed garlic
This tree takes a lot of patience, both in years to fully fruit out and in terms of how late in the season the peaches finally ripen, - the end of September here in zone 5b, - but boy are they amazing when they come in! I have two other peach trees, - Redhaven and Reliance, which have wonderful fruit, but these Indian Free White peaches are amazing. The aroma alone is incredible. These also have thicker skins, more "fuzz," which you can rub off, and are a bit on the acidic side, but OH so yummy! I have gotten raves from the farmers who tried them.
Been using this for last couple growing season. Works wonders for the garden.
This hose gets dragged over bark and around raised garden beds, and also over concrete and a weedy hillside to water a couple trees. So far it has performed well and there aren't any leaks or kinks!
I have not had a chance to plant these yet as it’s still a little early. Package came quickly and garlic was beautiful, can’t wait to plant it.
This is a great addition to my veg garden area!
These branch supports work well, are sturdy, and relatively cheap. While you do have to provide your own poles, you can buy wooden or metal ones of your needed length at hardware or home improvement stores. We ordered ten at first and then bought ten more after seeing how the first ones worked.
Of course I wanted a hand made wooden trug, but they are expensive! This plastic one is easy to clean, and the perfect size. I love the drainage holes.
No lightweight nonsense here! These are the one of the industry standards in tree pots and they have become our go to on the tree farm. You will find lightweight look-a-likes out there, but most only serve one time use. These have held up for years and been used multiple times in some cases.
This has become one of my new favorites for all around propagation. From seeds to cuttings we use this mix for our fig trees and have had unbelievable success. The mix is formulated for strong and fast root development. No complaints about it!
These trays are great. Everything is ready to go.
I use them for cuttings and seed starting and haven't been disappointed yet.
I had the frustration of having my dog dig up my citrus trees and figs out of their containers. I was furious. This granular repellent has stopped the dog completely. So now, the dog can stay.
