INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To thrive, eggplant need at least 1 inch (2.5cm) of water per week. Aim for one weekly, intensive watering rather that multiple, short watering sessions. Frequent watering promotes shallow roots, which can compromise the durability of your eggplants. Flea beetles are tiny black insects that feed on plant leaves and can harm eggplant crops. Check the upper and lower leaves of your eggplants for these bugs and remove them by hand. Destroy the bugs to keep them from returning or reproducing. If you are overwhelmed with flea beetles during the growing season, destroy your plants and cultivate the soil in the spring to destroy any larvae that may remain there. Row covers are great for protecting eggplants from the cold, disease, and insects. Row covers are long pieces of mesh material that cover plants and offer them protection. Lay row covers over your eggplants and fold over the edges on each side. Use a rubber mallet to hammer garden pegs through the folded edges of the material to secure it. Lift the row covers to water your eggplants, and remove them completely when it's time to harvest. Purchase row covers at garden centers or online. Keep track of your planting schedule from the day you first sow your eggplant seeds. At the 16 week mark, start checking your eggplant crops to see if they are ready for harvesting. When the skin is shiny, cut off eggplants near the stem with sharp pruning shears. Eggplants will keep for 2 weeks if you refrigerate them.

SUMMARY: Water eggplants thoroughly once a week. Remove any flea beetles you find on the leaves of the plants. Use row covers to protect your eggplants. Harvest eggplants 16-24 weeks after sowing when their skin is glossy.

A beanie, thick socks, and waterproof sneakers are the perfect finishing touches. A raglan shirt underneath a zip-up hoodie and jeans is a great outfit for school in the winter.
