Where do i have to go to get eggplants to grow?

Adjust soil pH to 6.0–6.8 by applying and incorporating agricultural lime or dolomite several weeks before transplanting. If you can get soil tested. That will help you decide what needs supplementing. The nutrient requirement of eggplants is similar to that of tomatoes. If you plant out into local soil, be sure you plant eggplant that are resistant to verticillium and fusarium wilts, fungus infections that kill both tomato and eggplant. Organic manure, such as poultry manure, applied 4–6 weeks before transplanting, will supply organic matter, add nutrients, improve soil structure and help to retain moisture in the soil. Combined with greensand, which is high in iron, potassium and magnesium, this is sufficient as a pre-plant fertilizer program. (Greensand is a natural mineral harvested from ancient ocean floors. It is widely available at many of the better nursery centers.)

If using only artificial fertilizers, apply a low-analysis N:P:K mixture, such as 5:7:4. You do not want high nitrogen fertilizers if you want fruit. The nitrogen favors leaves over fruit. In other words the plants will be lovely, but no eggplants.

Hope that helps you have success. If you grow in newly turned soil there may be cutworms and other larvae of beetles. You may want to carefully check the soil directly around the plant and use a collar set a couple of inches into the soil, and extending above the soil (a topless, bottomless can about 6-8 inches across works well, but you can use heavy paper if you are careful.) Cutworms leave plants laying on their sides, cut off from their roots. If you have slugs, try a ring of sharp eggshell pieces around each plant.

Those are the most obvious problems that I could think of that might get in your way to growth of these beautiful plants. Best wishes.

Start them indoors about 6 weeks before the last frost. They germinate best at around temperatures of 75 degrees F. Eggplants need a fertile(5.5-6.6 pH), well-dug bed with good drainage and plenty of sun to grow well. Make sure you don't plant them in soil where potatoes, peppers, or tomatoes were planted in the last 2 years. Other than that, Mouseda7 gives you some good advice. I'd follow that.

Best of luck!!

All of the above, plus eggplants like hot weather. Usually set transplants out 2 3 weeks after the last frost date. Be sure to harden them off or they will just sit there and sulk .
