But the Little Finger was 2007 seed and didn't germinate and I've run out of seed.

Several, Calliope, Black Beauty and Diamond that I remember...  :)

I am trying black beauty didn't' :-[t have much success last year

They are tricky... they need it warm... I love going to France in August and seeing them growing in the ground... I could almost consider moving...  ;D

Aubergine early long purple 2,  first time for me.  Never grown them before infact never tried them either so if they grow I'll have to find out what to do with them but they look good on the packet.

i tryed them first. nice in a stir fry or fried in sunflower oil with garlic and courgette, then add to pasta :)

Black Enorma have always done well for us.  I find it difficult to detect any difference in taste between different varieties, I'm afraid, so it comes down to hardiness and yield.

We grow ours in cold frames, FWIW.

Barnowl, pick them Kermits early, this variety grew like a weed, I was harvesting them every other day!

Thanks for the warning. Started mine too late last year and they didn't really get going; problem also was that they are definitely heat lovers and we didn't get any heat! They have to go outside (space) so sowing this week with fingers crossed for a mellow spring.
