Ferry-Morse 2038 Eggplant Seeds, Black Beauty (240 Milligram Packet) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
A favorite ingredient in Mediterranean-style cooking! The large, spreading, bushy plants bear 6 to 12 glossy, purple fruits per plant over a long season. Low in calories - only 20 per cup. This packet will plant approximately a 30 foot row. You can tell when eggplant is ripe by its glossy purple look. Harvest fruits while still shiny and about the size of your fist. Cut from the stem with a knife. Start seed indoors in warm, summer location 8-10 weeks before planting outdoors. Wait 3 weeks after last frost to transplant outside. Or, in warmer climates, sow directly in garden. Note: Eggplant requires full sun and rich, fertile, well-drained soil.
