Hi there!

I will need a bit of EGGING on as I have never grown EGGPLANT before (or as we Brits call it AUBERGINE !!!!

Mine are now about 3" high & in pots in my greenhouse I think I will plant a few outside but keep some under cover unless the promised heat wave happens. The same with the peppers & chillies......!! I don't trust our weather here.

I agree it's EGGciting! :coolsun ANY tips for an EGGPLANT virgin???????

Its my first time too. I thought my plants were a failure. I planted them in an area that I put chicken poo in and it stunted the growth of a lot of my garden. Shoot, I planted these way back in Feb. All of a sudden they have just taken off like crazy.

Hey Texan,

I'm a fellow Texan, once removed! I'm now in WA.

Anyhoo, I used to grow eggplant in the house in a sunny window. It served as a georgous house plant and a food source.

I never did anything special to it, it thrived well in TX.

Good luck!

Im trying some Lavender aubergine, this season. Although, as with all such plants except for tomatoes, I have a devil of a time getting them to sprout.

this is my first time growing eggplant and not sure what to look for. I have 4 plants and all 4 are flowering but I am not seeing any fruit. If you can would you post some pics.

Thanks
Mike

I picked them yesterday. Mine had flowers on them long before I had any eggplants. Those flowers were on there for what seemed like a few weeks. Iffin I get another one (I am sure I will) to make an eggplant I will post photos.

Huh, that is disappointing, isn't it? I guess the good size is that it's filling and doesn't appear to have calories either.
