Eggplant (Solanum melongena) or aubergine as it is known in Europe, is a species in the nightshade family grown for its edible fruit.

In India and much of Southeast Asia it is also known as Brinjal. 

Eggplant may be purplish-black, white or all shades in between — some eggplant varieties even bear orange or green fruit. 

 

Planting
  • Start plants indoors 2 months before the soil warms up.
  • Eggplant seeds germinate best at temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Bottom heat is useful in getting the plants up and growing. Keep them growing under bright fluorescent lights for 14 to 16 hours each day, and transplant them to 4-inch containers when they have three leaves. 
  • Place 3 to 4 inch tall seedlings 24 to 30 inches apart in well-prepared beds.
  • Pinch out the terminal growing points for a bushier plant
