Growing Eggplant for the First Time

February 15, 20100

Eggplant Seedlings

I have decided to grow some eggplant for the first time this year. I have picked “Black Beauty” for my first attempt.

Eggplant belongs to the same family as tomatoes and grows in almost the exact same way, and requires nearly the same care. I have started the black beauties in doors and am waiting for them to grow a few sets of leaves before I put them out side.

I look forward to some eggplant parmesan with fresh eggplant as the star of the dish the summer!
