How to Grow Eggplant Successfully: The Ultimate Guide

Eggplant is also known as brinjal or aubergine.

Choosing the right eggplant variety for your climate is crucial. Consider options like graffiti, Italian, fairy tale, and Indian.

Eggplants thrive in warm weather and need 6-8 hours of full sun daily.

Planting options include ground, raised beds, or containers.

Prepare the planting area by removing weeds and creating well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.

Dig a hole and add organic fertilizer if using a container, ensuring proper drainage.

Companion plants like tomatoes, basil, and garlic can be planted alongside eggplants.

Creating a weekly and monthly schedule for watering, weeding, fertilizing, and harvesting will help you maintain your garden effectively.
