Long Purple Eggplant Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Eggplants are heat-lovers. Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Do not transplant into the garden until the soil is consistently warm (at least 70°F) and night temperatures stay above 60°F.
2. Preparation: Choose a site with full sun. Eggplants thrive in fertile, well-drained soil. Amend the area with plenty of organic matter before planting to provide the nutrients these plants crave.
3. Sowing: If starting indoors, sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix. Provide plenty of light and keep the soil moist. When transplanting, space the plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart.
4. Watering and Care: Maintain consistent moisture, as uneven watering can lead to stunted growth. Mulching around the base of the plant will help keep the roots warm and retain moisture. For heavier fruit loads, you may want to use a small cage or stake for support.
5. Harvesting: Harvest Long Purple eggplants when they are 8 to 10 inches long and the skin is still shiny. If the skin becomes dull, the fruit is overripe. Use garden pruners to cut the fruit from the stem to avoid damaging the plant.
