I was out poking around today and found this. The India Paints aren't
flowering yet, I forget what kind this is, but I grew it last year and
it was quite prolific!

Looks a lot like my Japanese eggplant. Funny story today that wife's
friend was over and her regular eggplants won't fruit for a few more
days and she asked for one of my Japanese. We picked one and gave it to
her with the promise that she gives us one of hers. Then I told her the
Japanese eggplant has a very mild flavor. She wanted to give it back
because she likes full flavored eggplant, but, I told her it was too
late since we picked it, a deals a deal, and she owes us an American
eggplant
