It is all good. We planted 24 plants and after canning til I am weary, we started giving them away. Everyone else around us were plagued with the blight you talked about.

I chose to grow these. I suspect that the white variety is the reason for the name -- they DO look like eggs hanging on the plant.<br /><br />They all taste pretty much the same, as far as I can tell.<br /><br />I love eggplant slices rolled in olive oil and grilled. Just a little salt is all that's needed.<br /><br />Fried eggplant is delicious but not exactly health food.
