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.

We are no longer growing any plants. Listings are for information only. Last seed source listed after some of the plants is the company from which I last purchased the seeds. I make no guarantee that a variety is still available from that company or that there aren't other sources. Plants with no source either were not grown from seed (most likely) or the seed is not commercially available.
