Hi! I'm in South Africa (my names Olivia, I'm using my bf's account). We have summer at the moment but our wind has been crazy strong. I grew some eggplant seedlings from seed in late winter in a protected and light area, and put them out side as it go warmer and now they in pots in the garden where they can get lots of sun but unfortunately also wind. they seem to be stunted, they have 4 leaves and are 2 to 5 inches high. I have them in a potting soil, compost and coconut fiber mixture. they haven't grown more than a cm or 2 in about 3 months now. what can i do to help them get bigger and start fruiting?

I live in zone 9 so my eggplants gets lots of sun all year. Lately I'm getting little green worm eating the leaves and the flowers. What companion plant is recommended? I notice you have basil which grows excellent here too. Thank you for your support.

For the first time ever I decided to grow Japanese Ichiban Eggplant. Grew very well in a raised bed. Liked that they were thin and long vs. the traditional larger eggplant. Made several delicious dishes as they were tasty and very versatile due to their shape and texture.

Thanks for the video. I grow eggplants here in N.Cali for last 5 years and this year I tested it out by topping off (just like peppers). The results are great, the production has increased, and the plant has a lot of vigor.

What do eggplant taste like anyway and how do you cook them? I've never eaten this particular veggie.

Experts say that Aubergine should be harvested before it starts to lose it shine. If it is shiny it is not full ripe but can be harvested, if it becomes dull it is past its best.

In past 22 years I have seen only one mature eggplant in Calgary area. The information provided are excellent, I have a question about germination to harvesting time, how long it is and what about daylight hours exceeding 16 hours a day?
