Thanks, Kevin. Very valuable information.
We usually cut eggplant into slices and sprinkle salt over the slices and leave them for around 10min.
This draws out moisture as well as bitterness some eggplants have. We then wash the slices and discard the bitter brine from the eggplant. We then typically use it in a curry or fry it.

I was just out looking at my eggplant and thinking about over-wintering it but its in a container and I'm in zone 6. I'm concerned about the soil freezing solid. It's actually in a storage tub in about 10 of soil. I started them from seed and really would love to keep them if possible. Any advice would be appreciated.

I m growing eggplant for the first time ever this year, a variety called Rosita. I planted it in a 7gal grow bag on my deck in zone 5b and it s doing awesome and has had no problems! It has a beautiful pink fruit and is so prolific even in my zone. Highly recommend this variety to beginners.

Grill it and take the skin off leaving the stem, use fork to spread the flesh in a plate.
Beat 2 to 3 eggs in a bowl and seasoned it with salt and pepper, dunk the eggplant in the bowl of beaten eggs using the stem and fry it in a medium heat oil enough to cooked it well. I love it

I've been using alot of eggplant for grilling. Slice it into rounds, then mix it into a bowl with a small amount of balsamic, olive oil, salt and pepper. After one side gets some good browning, I flip and add some Fontina cheese. When it melts and browns, delicous!

Mr.
Kevin, when you are choosing which eggplant to pick. You want to feel your eggplants firmness. Once your eggplant begins to get softer to touch and is beginning to lose that firmness to it. It's getting to it's perfect picking stage. Taste good eating it raw too.

Make a homemade tomato saus
Peale the skin from the eggplant and cut it in little Cubs and put it in the tomato saus, let it for 25 minutes on low fire.
The eggplant will blend with the tomato saus.
That's how I make it.

Love this video! Thank you for sharing right till the harvest, and reminding us to harvest it with the peduncle. I didn t realize that if it shows a lot of seeds, it has been harvested a little late. I ll definitely try to harvest earlier this round!

I live in Southern California. When the extreme cold season comes around, I cut my eggplants back to the ground, and they come back in Spring. I get some nice small eggplants early but, like you said, when the heat comes around, they really get big.

I struggle with eggplants & potatoes alike. Potatoes always die back before they are productive, and eggplants are always ragged and stressed looking. I'll give one last season next year, then it's off my list.
