Found this pic for you in the Dave's Garden Plant Files. It is a picture of full size BAMBINO Eggplants, juxtaposed next to cherry tomatoes.

Cute!

Just fyi, The Black Beauty eggplant in the picture above is about 8 lbs. of eggplant. That tube is 10" long...

You should pick your eggplants while they are still shiney. The more dull they become, the more bitter they become. Keep track of the number of days they've been out, and compare to the recommended number of days to maturity. This will give you a clue as to when they are ready to be picked.
