Customary distibution of Nightshades

tylikSo I just finished potting up all my tomato, pepper, and eggplant plants. And, as usual, I have about 45 plants, though I doubt I'll want to plant more than 20 or so myself.
Anyone want some nightshades? If so, can you leave a note here, telling which ones you're intersted in? (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
poetry_lady, tshar and plantae, to whom I've spoken, have priority. But there should be a few left over. Usually the tomatoes go first...)
What I have:
Tomatoes, three varieties:
"Early Cherries" -- just what they sound like. Early, productive, and, well, early.
"Principe Borghese" -- possibly my all around favorite tomato -- technically a small paste tomato, often used for drying. Productive, cute, particularly tastey.
"Legend" The late blight resistant eighth wonder of the world. Small to medium sized slicing tomato, decent flavor, thick skin, and if we get another cool rainy fall... it won't start rotting on the vine with late blight. Or at least it's mostly resistant.
Peppers, two varieties:
"Anaheim" -- pretty typical, suspect you're familiar with it.
"California" Wonder Seven -- a bell pepper that does well in our climate
Eggplant -- "Dusky" an itallian style eggplant that usually manages to set fruit even in our indifferent summers.
(However, I should note that while eggplants aren't usually productive without a lot of TLC, they are extraordinarily beautiful plants, with really marvellous flowers, and can be enjoyed on that basis alone.)
Nope, none of these are particularly unusual or exotic. I'm pretty busy at the moment, so I'm mostly keeping things to the tried and true (and couldn't get my hands on my favorite hungarian peppers on short notice). OTOH, they are all plants which will usually do fairly well even in indifferent summers and with less than incredibly attentive care.
