- Soil requirements: Heirloom eggplant seeds prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 5.5 and 7.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: These seeds require full sun, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Eggplants need consistent moisture, so water them regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions.
- Planting season: The best time to plant heirloom eggplant seeds is in the spring, after the last frost date. In warmer climates, they can also be planted in late summer for a fall harvest.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and space them 18-24 inches apart in rows that are 24-36 inches apart. This spacing allows for adequate air circulation and room for growth.
- Germination time: Heirloom eggplant seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days under optimal conditions, which include warm soil temperatures between 75-85°F (24-29°C).
- Maturity time: Eggplants generally reach maturity in 70-85 days after transplanting, depending on the variety.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest eggplants is when they are firm and glossy, and their skin is smooth. This is usually in the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the eggplant from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached. Handle the fruit gently to avoid bruising. Store harvested eggplants in a cool, dry place and use them within a week for the best flavor and texture.
