Eggplant

Eggplant growingEggplant is a close relative of pepper and tomato. It requires warm weather to grow well and will not tolerate cold soils or temperatures. Many newer small-fruited or elongated varieties are now available. Compact varieties perform well in containers or landscape plantings. There are many different types of eggplant, most of which perform well in the long, hot summers in Kansas. Small-fruited types and long, slender Japanese types are usually more productive on a per plant basis than the larger fruited Italian types, although the yield by weight may be similar. Orange and red eggplants, while unique, often have a bitter flavor that is popular in other parts of the world.
