Eggplant

This is the last of the spring crops to plant. Eggplants grow best when temperatures are settled and nights are in the sixties with afternoons as high as 95°F. They are so sensitive to cold that temperatures in the 40s are likely to set back plant growth and may permanently retard fruit production. A minimum of 4 hours of direct sun is necessary. pH range 5.5 to 6.8. Space on 3-foot centers. Staking may be necessary. Ree-may row covers are helpful to warm plants and protect against insects. Flea beetles which eat tiny holes in eggplant leaves can be controlled with organic sprays such as pyrethrum and rotenone. Plants are available beginning in late April.

Before You Visit Us
- This is not an availability list!
  Please call to check our supply before you visit.
  This catalog lists most of the varieties I am growing or plan to grow, however, it is not possible to list everything. Some plants are tricky to propagate; others are too new for me to describe in any detail. Demand for certain varieties is sometimes greater than I anticipated and we run out. Usually, during the Spring season, there is another crop on the way.
  
  I can guarantee the quality of our plants because we grow them ourselves. I cannot guarantee that every item listed will be available at any given time.
About Our Veggies
- About Our Veggies
  The strength of the vegetable garden is its ability to yield the freshest produce from superior varieties that are unobtainable in the supermarket. That philosophy carries over into what I select to offer you. The way my plants are grown also offers you benefits. All vegetable plants are sold in individual pots to permit you to select just the number you need when you need them. Plants in individual pots tend to be more vigorous, grow faster, and produce a larger harvest. For you this means better vegetables sooner. Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplants, and most other vegetable plants are $1.69 each. Lettuce, Italian and Asian greens are $1.29 unless otherwise specified.
