How to Sow and Plant

Start eggplant seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date.

Transplant seedlings outdoors after frost danger has passed and soil temperatures are consistently warm.

Space plants sufficiently to ensure good airflow.

Water regularly to keep soil uniformly moist without waterlogging.

Use fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.

Apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Support plants with stakes if needed to keep heavy fruits off the ground.
