We’ve never grown eggplants before. Many friends recommended Ping Tung Long Eggplants so we decided to give it a try in 2022. Here is the information we got online. We’ll post our experiment step by step in Spring.
First, Ping Tung eggplants are high yielder. How high? Let’s ask Google:
Seems that 2-4 plants will produce enough fruits for a family.
Second, the instructions on from the seed company: Start seeds inside 6 weeks before last frost date (or 8 weeks before expected transplanting date). Keep soil warm until emergence (80-90°F minimum). Seeds will not germinate in cool soil and planting out too early may affect plant vigor. Harden off plants carefully before transplanting. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Transplant in late spring/ summer (soil temperatures at least above 75°F) in a very warm and sunny location. Eggplants are heavy feeders so use a balanced fertilizer. Too much nitrogen will produce lush foliage and few fruit.
