Eggplant Seedlings, Michal
SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Solanum melongena
VARIETY:
“Michal F1”. Vigorous hybrid producing early and often, with 7.5” fruit. Glossy, firm fruits keep well. Classic shape and tender flesh, perfect for eggplant parm!
CULTURE:
Eggplants require fertile, well-drained soil with a pH range of 6.2-6.8. Transplant outdoors late spring or early summer once the weather has thoroughly settled. Eggplants are tender, and cold weather may weaken them. Space transplants 18" apart in rows 30-36" apart, or 2 rows on plastic mulch, 18-24" between plants. It is important to be mindful of over-fertility. Too much nitrogen often results in large, bushy plants that produce only one small set of fruit. Eggplants may be pruned and staked to keep the fruits straight.
