I'm growing it, and it's a nice, productive plant. The eggplants are a
pretty shape (much prettier than Calliope, which I also grew). But they
don't sell here...this is a very 'backwards' area and miniature veggies
just don't sell. People want huge eggplants, baseball bat zucchinis, etc.
They think they are getting more for their money, I guess. I think
Fairytale could do well in a more 'gourmet' area.
I'm also growing Neon, which is a real eye-catcher! The color of mine
(growing in a greenhouse) is more amazing than any of the photos I've seen
of it...Neon is right! They are a larger plant, larger fruit and slower to
mature, and I haven't harvested any yet, so I can't comment on the taste
(next week they'll be ready).
