Meaty in flavour and texture, eggplants are great in the garden.
Planting Guide: Start indoors about 8 weeks prior to the last seasonal frost. Sow 1/4" deep in moist soil. Full sun/heat lamp recommended. Harden before transplant. Sow to well worked soil - about 24-36" apart, in rows 36" or more. Water regularly. Mulch recommended.
Harvest: About 70 days, when the eggplant is about 4-5" in length. Cut at the bloom, leaving about 1" of stem.
Tip: Be sure to pick them when they are firm, black and shiny - that is when it is ripe for the picking. Also watch to ensure that you are not planting it in a bed that might have contained tomatoes, peppers or eggplants in previous years.
