Oh awesome! I bought some white eggplant seeds as well but since my gardening style is rogue as it is, i don't know where they are or if they are growing yet :P

I bet you'll get incredible produce out there! I once had a jungle property and planted over 100 fruit trees which did awesome, too bad I didn't get to eat anything from them... life took me elsewhere :S

I did my PDC (permaculture design course) intensive in Guatemala maybe 2 years ago... I have lost track of time! I know you can do courses online, I had studied a lot before taking this but the hands on aspects were really important to me as a visual learner! <3 I can recommend tons of information and reading if you'd like just ask!
