Planting Instructions:

Start your seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last expected frost date, or sow directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C).

• Planting Depth: 1/4 inch deep.

• Plant Spacing: Space seedlings 18-24 inches apart, with rows 24-36 inches apart, to give these plants plenty of room to grow.

• Days to Germination: 7-14 days in warm soil (75-85°F or 24-29°C). Using a seedling heat mat can improve germination rates.

• Days to Maturity: 70-80 days from transplanting.

Sunlight Requirements:

Long Purple Eggplant thrives in full sun, needing at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce the best yields. Choose a location with well-draining, nutrient-rich soil amended with compost or aged manure for optimal results.

Growing Tips:

• Start Indoors: Starting seeds indoors ensures a head start on the growing season, especially in cooler climates. Transplant when seedlings have at least two true leaves and the danger of frost has passed.

• Outdoor Sowing: For direct outdoor sowing, ensure soil temperatures consistently exceed 70°F (21°C). Cover young plants with row covers to protect them from pests and retain warmth.

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, watering at the base of the plants to prevent disease.

• Support: Stake or cage your plants to support their growth and prevent fruit from touching the ground.
