Sowing and seedling care: We recommend sowing in soil blocks and on heat mats. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings. Increase pot size as they grow. Eggplants are heavy feeders, so nourish them with nutrient-dense soil as well as fish and kelp emulsion for an abundant harvest.
When to transplant: Harden off and transplant after final frost. Continue fertilizing throughout the season and use row cover to boost performance; remove when they flower.
