Description
Looking more like eggs than most eggplant fruits (due to their all white colour - not their shape!) this early-maturing variety produces a heavy crop of firm-textured fruits with an excellent flavour.
The fruits are usually large - up to 7" (17 cm) long - and of a uniform cylinder shape. A very versatile vegetable that is hugely popular in Asian and Mediterranean cooking.
Eggplants, as they are commonly known, will produce the heaviest crop if grown under protection - but a sunny spot outside, sheltered from cold winds, will also produce a very worthwhile crop.
- Sow under protection two seeds per small pot March-April.
- Germinate at a temperature of 18°C - 25°C (64°f - 77°f).
- Transplant and grow on in larger pots when large enough to handle.
- For greenhouse or polytunnel growing plant out into larger pots, growbags or the ground when more established and provide a sturdy support.
- For outdoor growing transplant into a sunny sheltered spotafter the risk of frost has passed; plant out 36" (90 cm) apart in rows 36" (90 cm) apart and provide a sturdy support.
