Wow! That explains why I never get many eggplants on my plant - I’m waiting too long to harvest them. Thanks! I’ll have to pick them when they’re smaller, instead of waiting, and waiting, and waiting, hoping they’ll grow bigger.
Jag thanks for your excellent advice. I'm zone 9B, Fresno/Clovis area, so your advice is always spot on for me. I agree, Black Beauty and Japanese are what I usually plant when I plant. We love grilling them.
Great video, Jag. Loved the addition of adding starting dates to each zone. Very helpful. I grow eggplants ironically, I hate them, but donate produce to local soup kitchen. I plant more as trap crop for flea beatles, but they still produce.
great video as always, jag! even though i don't much care for eggplants, nor plan on growing them, i still like to see how you approach growing things.
I'm in zone 8, and just don't get that kind of heat. I'm lucky if my eggplants get 1-3 fruit in their entire life span. I think in order for them to be prolific, like in the video, you need pretty hot summers. ...but I keep trying. :-) Impressive Harvest in the video! Congrats! The eggplants sure like what you are doing. :-)
I'm in central Texas, and secret here is to mulch heavily, particularly when temperatures are consistently in the 90s and 100s. I have limited space, so my eggplant is interplanted with flowers and herbs, which helps with keeping roots shaded. My eggplant produce all summer and fall, even sometimes into the winter until we get a freeze. Ping Tung Long is never bitter and does great in the heat. Also a heavy producer! Always pick eggplant when the skin is still glossy, too.
Did you do all the things Jag recommended? Full sun, rich soil, adequate water, pick often? Were you in ground or container? Everything is even more critical if in a container. I'm 9B. If I get things half right I get a good harvest but never quite as prolific as that plant.
This a way better video than the other video (i'm guessing the person who invented the other method). Same original photo, but it leaves us wondering what the HECK? Jag great video.
Baba Ganoush, mousakka or split and grilled. I also thinly slice it lengthwise and layer it into lasagna. My partner grew up with slices of the Black Beauty baked with a topping of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. She called it pizza plant. Or caponata. Yum! Just two of us, we are already daydreaming about this year's eggplant harvest. Just don't over plant. I usually do 2 Black Beauty and two of the Japanese. One each would be enough, two is for insurance.
Jag, I really appreciate how informative your videos are, without being long. You are a great teacher! Thank you!
Tyvm! Planning on doing a boatload eggplants this year. I appreciate the help

I live in 8b in Texas and the heat killed my eggplant. Multiple 110+ days. Even in shade. The few I got were small and bitter.

When plant is done producing, goes to seed; do you pull it out of ground & compost or leave it for next season?
Cut at stem level, leave roots in the ground and compost the rest.
Thank you for the advice, my egg plants always get hard and turn when they are 4/5 inches. Please advise what I should do.
Hey Jag !!!!! very useful video but I wanted to know how to save my egg plant some kind of bugs are eating the leaves!!!!! Please guide
Thank you! As always, a great tutorial!

At least you use good clippers to harvest them.
(And you brought a container to put them in!)
Can you please let me know eggplant seed variety you purchased and from where? last year the long Japanese eggplant I planted did not produce well
