I have yellow and white eggs both and now have a bunch of new blooms on my plant, So I should hopefully have more eggs to come. I think we should do this every December and it looks like a lot of us will have seeds to share for a new project.

I now have purple blooms on several of the plants! Approximately how long before I will see an egg? I'll keep my fingers crossed the flowers do not fall off.

I think that 1 may not make it Penny, I recently found myself 36 seeds on E-bay that i bought so as to have back up, should these not make it. I have plenty to share, so if you would like to try again, just let me know. FYI: it took me 12 seeds to get my 6 pots. I am thinking that surely one of the 6 pots will grow to maturity. ________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....

It's not all that reliable, and doesn't like very sunny days and some cloudy/hazy ones either.

These are plants that bloom then the bloom drops off and an egg develops first white , then blueish color, then gold/yellow, then brown, Then it drops off and cracks open and there are seeds inside to start alllllll over again Not recommended to eat! These take a long time unless you have them under growlights.. We started this last Dec 15 some got started later then others and some have already 'Egged" and some of us are just getting eggs.. Finally I got a picture of the one egg I finally did get!! "Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."

PHOOEY on those spider mites though! Hope you managed to get them all!!! I noticed aphids all over one of my favorite petunia hanging baskets yesterday, and a few hovering near my wonderegg pot - it's too cold and windy here to blast them with a hose today, so it will have to wait til this weekend - hope they don't do too much damage in the interim.

Just want to update on mine: Those $%^&$#@#^ spider mites came back... and just today I hosed them down lightly twice... and checked every leaf afterwards... Hope it's not too late... I already lost a bunch more leaves, and the stem holding the eggs was starting to brown on 2 or 3 of them... They seem fine now... I'll post pics later [my uncle went upstate earlier today for the weekend, took my camera, and his truck broke down up there.. so he's stuck there until he can get his truck fixed Don't worry he's fine, and with other family ] THE SPROUT IS BACK!

Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 5,621 The emerald city I keep forgetting about this topic. I had transplanted mine to the garden and they don't look so well but are surviving. I keep forgetting to water anything outside which I'm sure doesn't help. Usually when I forget to water outside it will eventually rain. It hasn't rained in a couple weeks and I've only remembered to water a few times. I need a watering reminder thingy of some sort. Plant smiles, grow giggles, harvest love.

My plants are not doing well either, Mark - the intense heat of this summer, followed by the heavy rains we've had this week have done a job on the leaves, BUT... I do have a couple of eggs starting out - YEA!!! Oh and Mark... your yellow eggs are perfect! They are doing exactly what they should be - wait until they turn brown and dry out completely before taking the seeds out. They will look shriveled up when the time is right. Here are mine today:

I didn't start any Egg plants this year because silly me sent all my seeds out in the swap. Well I have one coming up in the flower bed. A seed must've dropped over there..... It's pretty big, but the leaves are looking bad and chewed up. Guess I'll let it keep going....or maybe I'll dig it up and pot it. I'm happy because now I'll have plenty of seeds for next year!

Unigirl, they are annuals, I'm pretty sure they can grow most anywhere, but I'm not sure what zone they prefer..you may be able to find some seeds at a Walmart or something, but many members here have some seeds... I have a bunch of yellow eggs now, so If I am able to harvest seeds I'll be more than happy to share! WEll, my plants juuuuust about bit the dust... Sunday night tehy were looking terrible, so i took them and ''threw' them on the porch... they were losing big leaves and small ones like crazy... they were almost nude! It happened to rain alll day Monday[yesterday], so that did them good...I found a big pot outside and re-planted them all into it.. there should be more than enough room for them all, and they seem to be doing better already, outside in the yard...as long as they make it lnog enough so that I can harvest eggs, I'll be fine! I have a good 6 or 7 yellow eggs.. THE SPROUT IS BACK!

I hope it comes back strong and healthy. I would appreciate the seeds so I can try this for myself, even though from what I hear it takes lots of patience for it to bloom and "egg".

Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 5,621 The emerald city Unigirl, I know how you feel. I've been waiting all season for my stargazer lilies and they've had buds on them for over a month now and the buds keep getting bigger but just won't bloom. My wonder eggs are surviving though. I thought maybe there wasn't much hope for them when I transplanted them directly into the garden but they're trying to make it. I had a dream last night that one of them had flower buds on it. I'll have to inspect them this morning because the last time I had a dream like that about something in my garden in turned out to be true. Plant smiles, grow giggles, harvest love.
