Growing guide

Sowing

Start seed indoors 6 to 8 weeks before frost danger is past. Plant seeds 1 inch apart and cover with ½ inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Place tray in a very warm spot (day and night), cover with glass or clear plastic wrap to preserve moisture until germination. After germination, move tray to a warm sunny window.

Thinning

When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, transplant 2 inches apart in another tray. After frost danger is past, transplant outdoors in rows 2 to 3 feet apart, spacing plants 2 feet apart.

Germination

Germinates in 10 to 14 days depending on soil and weather conditions.

Remarks

Eggplant requires warm weather—do not set out too early. Maintain good fertility during the season. Cut fruit instead of pulling to avoid plant injury.
