Eggplant Seeds - Kurume Long

Eggplant Seeds - Kurume Long

Relatively late maturing plant has an upright growth habit. 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. Stir-fry, braise, steam, deep-fry, bake, pickle or prepare tempura-style.
