That's where she got started with winter sowing. I and hundreds of other poster told about our winter sowing exploits at GardenWeb. I quit following it when someone bought out GardenWeb.

This is actually the first time I've ever had a good eggplant crop. Why? Because before I only grew one or two plants. I learned you have to grow a lot of them. I had about 15 this year.
