I like how you focus on the plant’s emotions . It helps so much more to internalize the information, rather than bombard us with scientific terms. It’s a more empathetic, and relatable way of getting to know, and take care your plant.
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.
I'm growing three varieties in a mixture of composted horse manure, organic compost, vermicompost, coconut choir and rock dust. They are getting very large and fruiting. I'm so glad! Thanks for your videos.
Exactly what I needed! My seeds are hatching, and I'm 3 weeks from my last frost date. I feel much more at ease now. Thank you, Luke! Yours is one of my favorite channels.
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.
I'm doing 9 BB this year. 1st time, I never really liked eggplant. But I have found 2 ways that I really like. They are about 2ft tall and looking gorgeous! The flowers just started and I'm pretty excited👍🏻
Your method of squeezing the eggplant to tell if it was ripe got me in big trouble with my Filipina wife. She bought in our Asian eggplants from the kitchen that I had pressed and cut the day before .... she had cut them in half along the length and showed me brown bruising exactly where I had squeezed them!
Hi Luke! I personally LOVE eggplant and I have around five plants growing in pots outside on my front spartment steps and they are doing GREAT!! I have one flower open and no others but I think I read that they are self-pollinating as well as green bell peppers. I hope so because only one eggplant flower is open and the others are still in the bud yet and not ready to open until a few days from now. GREAT video and oh, hey, I used "worm tea" from my first established worm bin and diluted it with water and watered them and my sweet bell peppers with it. I look forward to them getting bigger!
Hey Luke! I saw your video on saving carrot seeds before this one on eggplant. In that video you talked about how carrots were from Afghanistan (I didn't know that!) and in this one you mentioned eggplant doesn't come from areas that drop into the 40s F. You're a knowledgeable guy and if you were to do a series on the origins of the common vegetables grown in North America I would absolutely geek out on that! I know a pretty good bit about gardening successfully, but the history of the crops I work with.... I know next to nothing. Might be an interesting series!
Thank you for this vid, this is my first garden zone 8 and just planted my egg plants I did mine a foot apart hope I didn’t over crowd them will go back once they start coming up and get rid of the smaller ones so I have healthy happy eggplants
Good soil makes a difference. Last year I tried them in the garden out front and got 3. This year I have some in the front yard and some in the back yard. The ones in the back yard are like bushes. The ones out front are even sadder and more pathetic than last year. Since the lighting is the same...I'm blaming soil. The back yard garden is older and has had more years of soil amendment (fertilizer). And, I could have used this video last year. I figured this out by trial and error and help from Google. Last week, I made an eggplant dish for a potluck. Since the plants were just starting, I only had one fruit, so I supplemented with one from the store. Night and day difference! My own is best.
It is so hot here, in the 100's. They are 5 ft tall, the blooms come out, and die. They keep growing and the flowers keeps falling off. So, I will try xtra bone meal. I really wanted some.
Thank you for all this information. I have black beauty eggplants in my grow box right now and am planning ahead when it’s time to get them in the ground. I have just ordered the trifecta plus and can’t wait to have a better garden.
I got a Shikou Eggplant at Lowes last year and they were delicious with a nutty flavor. I didn't know you could put them so close together and had a lone plant that really spread out. I want to put several of these in this year so I get more eggplants.
Im growing and harvesting Little Fingers egg plants very good producer and tastes awesome but my favorite that I am growing is Kamo eggplant. Heavy producer and used by top chefs in Japan. Just delicious jewels!
Last year I successfully grew tomatoes from my balcony, so I hope that means I have enough sunlight for tomatoes *fingers crossed*. I've planted a fairytale eggplant and an asian eggplant, so I hope they grow well!
So AFTER they ripen and can be slightly dented they turn hard? [2:25] Since they’re hard early, now unsure if I missed the ‘window’ when they’re ripe/soft…. or did I miss something?
I've never grown eggplants, and the store bought ones have mostly been like you said, either spongy or bitter skinned. I'm excited to see the difference of homegrown. This video has all the information a person might like to know about eggplant, except what I was looking for... of course. Seed sprouting instructions? It seems like there was something special about sprouting them??
It's my first year growing egg pants. My black beauty's just keep dropping their flowers, but my patio baby eggplants are finally starting to produce some fruit!
Thank You for the great information. When You say yhat you crowd them together, How far apart? You say the same thing about pepper plants. Are you talking about sweet peppers? if so. how far apart do you plant them? Again Thank You.
I am looking to grow eggplants for the first time this year. In my growing zone, it is suggested that we start sowing seeds soon, in preparation for spring. Here's hoping we don't have another dry period this year. Last time around, my efforts to work on my garden were hampered because of bushfires followed by flooding. Such is life living in Central Queensland.
Eggplant is difficult in the south (N.Georgia). Neighborhood gardeners and I get bombed with flea beetles, and we are going to try Starting them later in the season. They seem to need a lot of water too.
I randomly picked up an Ichiban from the hardware store a few weeks after my peppers went in. Dumb luck I that I got the timing right. I harvested my first eggplant recently and put it in a stir fry. Now I wish I bought more plants that day.
Is that basil that is filling out the space next to the eggplants? If so do you let your basil flower as soon as it reaches maturity or do you keep it from flowering earlier?
I don't know what he does, but typical green basil changes flavor when flowering, so if you want to keep harvesting, prune the flowers. However, bees LOVE basil flowers, so letting the basil flower could help eggplant pollination, and eggplant unlike tomato and cucumber has separate male and female flowers, so you need the pollinators to get fruit unless you go out every day and manually pollinate.
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?
I have a raise bed garden and I used wood chips but my problem now I have so much slugged do you sell in your store how to get rid of Slugs I’m from Minnesota thanks for your help. And I’m welling to buy please help me.
You could pour salt around the perimeter of your garden bed. I've also seen people run thin metal wires around the top of the bed and run electricity through it so when the slug touches the wire, it gets shocked and leaves.
Thanks.1 I'm a new gardener and my eggplant plants grew huge and flowered but then the flowers died. We've had tons of rain here, but enough sun and I think it was because they needed phosphorus added when the flowered. If at first you don't succeed, try again :)
I had success growing egg plant in Zone 9 (Florida). It’s finished bearing fruit. But the plant is strong and full of vitality. Should I leave alone and will it bear fruit? Not sure what to do next. Thanks
Mathurine Louis I put in the house in the winter if I grow in pots up pot in spring put in the sun and take out for fresh air, add compost. If in ground prune cover with compost then straw cover with a pot. I am in the Texas gulf coast region
If I add trifecta+and worm casting to my potting mix with mushrooms compost would I need to add anything else to my eggplant growing in grow bags? Thank you for your videos
Hi Luke, I have eggplants and they are about 1 month old. They are not tall but lots of leaves. Just wondering when can I prune them cuz most of the leaves are touching the ground/soil? Im afraid that they might catch disease but at the same time dont want to get rid of the leaves that they need to grow taller. Thanks
I just started growing eggplants. Or at least trying to. Just as an experiment, I planted a whole one that was going bad juat to see what would happen. Would that work?
Okay, what to do if my eggplant tree is huge, but it's dropping flowers, these were transplanted in early May ( I live in FL).It produces many flowers, but won't grow eggplant. It's kind of hogging up space in my raised bed atm what do I do?
I am trying eggplants for the first time this year. I have 6 raised beds that will get full sunlight. I was thinking of planting the eggplants in of my beans and cucumber. Seems they are good companion plants for beans.
Finally getting the long purple I got seeds from you but they have been slow growers . Now producing but have holes all in leaves . Think for flea Beatles. How do I get rid of ?
Hello very good video and i will put more attention in my eggplant next time .i have two verity plants and the asian eagplant after two months star to be the fruit yellow ..i am in zone 9 to 10 very hot summers.
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.
It's hard to describe the taste Sansa but a good eggplant has a clean fresh taste! It's a unique taste and one that at first I wasn't keen on it but then as I kept eating it, it grew on me! I LOVE to slice it and dip the slices in a beat-up egg batter and dipped in Italian bread crumbs! YUMMY! Also, NOTHING like eating eggplant parmesian and using your own garden-fresh eggplant!
this year the weather was awful summer kept on getting interrupted with cold and rain - London UK Last year i could get rid of anything had to give away loads of things this year i hardly got a harvest.
Is it the same principle for the mini gge plant variety? Because in waiting for them to get "soft" for picking they have all turned yellow....kinda confusing for a beginner lol
I'm in zone 8 and would like to grow eggplant in a big container with herbs (oregano, sage and mint). Is this a good combination or should the eggplant be on it's own? Thank you!
I live in Southern California where it gets VERY hot during the summer, often above 100F. When the real summer hits with these kinds of temperatures should I put up a shade net over the eggplants? 40% or so?
Your video was very informative. Last year I grew white eggplants and couldn't understand why the pretty flowers kept dropping at first, then all of a sudden that stopped and the eggplant grew. I wanted to see what I did wrong and I think it's the fertilizer because watering was fine. I'm growing the same variety this year but wanted to see if I could prevent a repeat of the flower falling. Thank you.
Please pardon my ignorance, I love fresh veggies from a garden but I am not very skilled when it comes to growing... black thumb here! I had a grocery store bought eggplant that hid on me until it was too late so I buried it in the garden bed. I am curious to know if I will end up with a plant, or if it will just fertilize the bed??? Anyone have any kind of insight on this for me?
Hi great video. Thanks a lot! I've heard people talking about pruning back or cutting back the eggplant plants especially when the frost is near... And that the trees can probably grow back. My thoughts have been if this is true then when the trees become big and they are starting to lean over to the side... After harvesting the crop for that bit of the Season then I can cut back the branches almost to making the plant nude and allowing new gross. What are your thoughts?
I know this video isn't Bout squashes, but I want you to k ow I pruned my greenhouse zuccini, a lot, and watched my bees come in, first time this season. I love the foliage and flowers, but much prefer the fruit. Thanks for sharing.
I like how you focus on the plant’s emotions . It helps so much more to internalize the information, rather than bombard us with scientific terms. It’s a more empathetic, and relatable way of getting to know, and take care your plant.

She bought in our Asian eggplants from the kitchen that I had pressed and cut the day before .... she had cut them in half along the length and showed me brown bruising exactly where I had squeezed them!
😂
He didn't say squeeze, he said push your finger a bit.
Oh no 🤣🤣
Yikes!
LOL 😂😂
best video for growing eggplants and taking care of them. nice one Luke!
I'm growing eggplants for the 1st time; I found the info invaluable. U really educate me.
I find that they are demanding tho, almost like tomatoes.
Eggplants are the non plus ultra on Italian cuisine. What a gift from earth
What about pollinating? Pruning? Depth of soil in containers?
Thanks, I now know what to do next year. This was my first year and one test plant only.
Hi Luke! I personally LOVE eggplant and I have around five plants growing in pots outside on my front spartment steps and they are doing GREAT!!

I am starting now for the first time. They have just sprouted. I hope our almost spring temperatures will be ok for them. Great video.
Enjoying your tutorial video while I have my oatmeal. Maybe I'll try and plant one of these today.

What we will do flowers dropping from eggplant
Ichiban, sicilian, classic, hansel and gretel. Gretel has some gnarly thorns.
Wow. terrific video. If I can't grow eggplant after this......... Thank you so much.
It is so hot here, in the 100's. They are 5 ft tall, the blooms come out, and die. They keep growing and the flowers keeps falling off. So, I will try xtra bone meal. I really wanted some.
My first eggplant. Wow it's thriving. I am so happy with it. I have flowers all over it and 4 fruits .
Thank you for all this information. I have black beauty eggplants in my grow box right now and am planning ahead when it’s time to get them in the ground. I have just ordered the trifecta plus and can’t wait to have a better garden.
Great video. Thanks so much! I'm in South Africa, so I'll be planting mine in a few weeks.
I love your video's. You have great information. I live in NC zone 7. I haven't had much luck with egg plant.
Beautiful eggplant one of my favorite to eat & grow!! Mahalo for sharing!🌞
What is the recommended spacing for the eggplants?
Is it best to direct sow or transplant?
Nice succinct explanation, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
I got a Shikou Eggplant at Lowes last year and they were delicious with a nutty flavor. I didn't know you could put them so close together and had a lone plant that really spread out. I want to put several of these in this year so I get more eggplants.
I have never had a eggplant look that wonderful

Trying egg plants for the first time this year. What about pruning? Do I left branches from the leaf nodes continue to grow?
I love my eggplants, I would like to protect the weight, how can I provide a good support system for the fruit as it grows?

Do you not need to prune them?
it is Oct 31, 2017. still getting eggplants temperature was 43 degrees F
First yr growing,good video !

Hi, first time growing acquired a antiqua eggplant some of them have yellow and purple streaks. Please advise🙏🏽
Nice videos, MIG! Want to know about overwintering them here in the Midwest. Can you enlighten me?
Very informative video Luke. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Do you find it helps to grow them with basil next to them? Is that deliberate? is it for bug control?
I had success growing egg plant in Zone 9 (Florida). It’s finished bearing fruit. But the plant is strong and full of vitality. Should I leave alone and will it bear fruit? Not sure what to do next. Thanks
Luke can I use trifecta plus in my straw bale garden?
My eggplant is three years old an still blooms
may I ask where you live? I'm in central Florida. are you growing in ground or pots? ty
In Houston area its potted i bring in during the winter
Love you guys!!! I revisit the videos frequently.
Eggplant is not perrenial how you grow for 3 years
Mathurine Louis I put in the house in the winter if I grow in pots up pot in spring put in the sun and take out for fresh air, add compost. If in ground prune cover with compost then straw cover with a pot. I am in the Texas gulf coast region
If I add trifecta+and worm casting to my potting mix with mushrooms compost would I need to add anything else to my eggplant growing in grow bags? Thank you for your videos
Great video bro...
If you don't want to use animal products, do you know what could be used for alternative N, P and K fertilisers, please?
Hi Luke, I have eggplants and they are about 1 month old. They are not tall but lots of leaves. Just wondering when can I prune them cuz most of the leaves are touching the ground/soil? Im afraid that they might catch disease but at the same time dont want to get rid of the leaves that they need to grow taller. Thanks
interesting variety you have, I like it!
I just started growing eggplants. Or at least trying to. Just as an experiment, I planted a whole one that was going bad juat to see what would happen. Would that work?
Thanks for the info. It is necessary to prune eggplants?
Thank you for sharing some great ideas ! We appreciate it!
Okay, what to do if my eggplant tree is huge, but it's dropping flowers, these were transplanted in early May ( I live in FL).It produces many flowers, but won't grow eggplant. It's kind of hogging up space in my raised bed atm what do I do?
Learning a lot from this, Thanks
Just started with mine in cape town south africa 2 plants still small. No flowers yet. Can I grow them in pots?
not only did I learn about eggplant I learned about peppers and here I am with my peppers more than 2 feet apart long. Live and learn I guess.
I am trying eggplants for the first time this year. I have 6 raised beds that will get full sunlight. I was thinking of planting the eggplants in of my beans and cucumber. Seems they are good companion plants for beans.
thanks for all your videos!!
Finally getting the long purple I got seeds from you but they have been slow growers . Now producing but have holes all in leaves . Think for flea Beatles. How do I get rid of ?
Hello very good video and i will put more attention in my eggplant next time .i have two verity plants and the asian eagplant after two months star to be the fruit yellow ..i am in zone 9 to 10 very hot summers.
Another awesome video! Mr and Mrs Migardener keeps inspiring more people! Hopefully I can do that on my channel!
Is it necessary to stake Black Beauty Eggplant?
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.
This is SO SO helpful. Thank you.
What do eggplant taste like anyway and how do you cook them? I've never eaten this particular veggie.
🌾 Merry met 🌿
It's hard to describe the taste Sansa but a good eggplant has a clean fresh taste! It's a unique taste and one that at first I wasn't keen on it but then as I kept eating it, it grew on me!

Wow you’ve never tried eggplant? It’s hard to explain the taste but it’s delicious. May I recommend you try eggplant parmesan someday!
Lots of Italian, Greek recipes... one of my favorites
this year the weather was awful summer kept on getting interrupted with cold and rain - London UK
Last year i could get rid of anything had to give away loads of things this year i hardly got a harvest.
Is it the same principle for the mini gge plant variety? Because in waiting for them to get "soft" for picking they have all turned yellow....kinda confusing for a beginner lol
I bought a single eggplant. Would it be better to put 2 or 3 together or will the one be ok alone? Really just wanted to do a test run this year.
A complete guide would be helpful if it told you how to start them from seed....
Thank you...finally someone who agrees! This video is just doing adverts for Trifecta.
True. He likes to talk a lot
Warm water then seed out in a peat mix. Don't plant it out until it's 60 degrees at night.
Stick the seed in dirt. There ya go
I'm in zone 7b, can you overwinter eggplant?
Do u prune and pinch off the main terminals? And should I?
I'm in zone 8 and would like to grow eggplant in a big container with herbs (oregano, sage and mint). Is this a good combination or should the eggplant be on it's own? Thank you!
I live in Southern California where it gets VERY hot during the summer, often above 100F. When the real summer hits with these kinds of temperatures should I put up a shade net over the eggplants? 40% or so?
You could do, they’ll certainly needs lots of water
Your video was very informative. Last year I grew white eggplants and couldn't understand why the pretty flowers kept dropping at first, then all of a sudden that stopped and the eggplant grew. I wanted to see what I did wrong and I think it's the fertilizer because watering was fine. I'm growing the same variety this year but wanted to see if I could prevent a repeat of the flower falling. Thank you.
what if you live in a tropical area and it just so happens its the rainy season in your country.
Any advise?
They will survive. I live in tropics and this plant is the easiest to grow. Basically I just throw the seeds on the ground and they'll grow!
Oh, the variety I'm growing is "Black Beauty" which is a medium-sized eggplant fruit. :-)
Harvest before they lose glossy skin, simple!
Please pardon my ignorance, I love fresh veggies from a garden but I am not very skilled when it comes to growing... black thumb here! I had a grocery store bought eggplant that hid on me until it was too late so I buried it in the garden bed. I am curious to know if I will end up with a plant, or if it will just fertilize the bed??? Anyone have any kind of insight on this for me?
Why my egg plant flowers but the flowers keep dropping kindly tell me what should I do
Hi great video. Thanks a lot! I've heard people talking about pruning back or cutting back the eggplant plants especially when the frost is near... And that the trees can probably grow back. My thoughts have been if this is true then when the trees become big and they are starting to lean over to the side... After harvesting the crop for that bit of the Season then I can cut back the branches almost to making the plant nude and allowing new gross. What are your thoughts?
what soil is best for egg plant
Very Nice, Thanks.
If they are grown in a screened in enclosure how do they pollinate ?
I know this video isn't Bout squashes, but I want you to k ow I pruned my greenhouse zuccini, a lot, and watched my bees come in, first time this season. I love the foliage and flowers, but much prefer the fruit.
Thanks for sharing.
is it normal for the eggplant bud to look like its closing up after the flower falls off,( I have a black beauty eggplant)
I am in zone 8a and want to start my seeds today. am I going to be too late for thus season
