Eggplant is very sensitive to cold soils and is not at all frost tolerant. It does best when grown from transplants, which should be sit in the garden 2 weeks after the last frost-free date. Space the plants 24 to 36 inches apart in rows 36 inches apart.
Eggplants do best in a well-drained, moderately fertile soil. After the first fruit set occurs, apply a small amount of fertilizer around each plant and water it in. Additional fertilizer may be applied after the first harvest.
Fruits are edible from the time they are about one-third grown until they are ripe, and they maintain edibility after achieveing full color. Mature fruits are glossy in color and slightly firm. Fruit that is left on the vine too long or matures under extremely high temepratures or low moisture conditions often becomes bitter. Be sure to harvest the fruit as they mature so new ones can develop. Do not bruise or damage the fruit in any way. Store it immediately in the refrigerator. |
