Eggplant, Striped Garden Egg

A great small eggplant that come from African parentage. The fruits are about 3 inches long and stripped green and yellow. They take a little longer to start producing fruit but once they get going eggplants seem to come in spades!

Eggplant: Eggplants are a fantastic garden staple, with varieties from all over the world! Eggplants love our warmer summer and thrive when its hot.

Growing Tips: Eggplants like fertile, well drained soil so don’t skimp on the compost before it comes time to plant. Give eggplants a good 18 inches of space between them as the plants can get quit large. Eggplants also benefit from staking to help them support the large fruits they will make later in the season.
