I'm planting eggplant from seed this weekend. I've loved eggplant since my first green Malaysian curry at 2 years old. eggplants are so versatile and delicious in so many recipes. Working at Moona in Cambridge, Ma we even pickled a pink varietal for use on our Lebanese and Moroccan pickles and dips appetizer. Check out recipes from Lebanon and Japan and India and just anywhere you can think of that you enjoy their cuisine and I guarantee they'll have some kick_butt dishes with eggplant.

I usually love Meg despite the fact that she and I grow in such different conditions I cannot use much of what she teaches, but lettuce is strictly a winter crop here. I wish you had someone do things for my zone- 9A. Greyson has very soothing voice, but our microclimates are so different I can't use much of what he says either. Today I direct sowed corn, tomatoes, peppers, and a bunch of other crops. Here's hoping!

I really hate these kinds of blanket, start these now! videos. This does not take into account that a lot of people’s last frost date isn’t until way later. If I were to start most of these right now in Colorado, it would be way too soon. I don’t start most of these until April at least because my last frost date isn’t until mid May. I don’t even plant my peppers until end of May beginning of June.

I'm so confused. ya'll telling us to start tomatoes, peppers and eggplants in March in areas like S. Cal and Texas everything I've learned in my mere 4 years of gardening says you start those in Early to Mid January to transplant them outside about NOW. Either I've been doing it wrong or this video got some explaining to do.

Got all mine started, Been started since January! My basil is already up potted, actually got a cilantro up potted without it dying like usual! Got my eggplants, and peppers started. Onions were started but they are having a few issues with germinating and staying alive. Mostly my fault on that front.

Just an FYI after reading some comments. Planting zones are based on frost days. Not the actual weather. So planting zones are misleading. I am in zone 9B. My weather is desert dry. Central Florida is also zone 9B. They are humid. We Cannot plant the same way.
Big to all epic gardeners out there!

Us up north are not behind. Unfortunately, I followed this advice and ended up with monster unruly transplants. I no longer panic plant based on videos. Timing is everything, but please don't panic. Smaller transplants catch up & often surpass big ones. Nobody panic. It's ok. There's time yet for many.

Here is something different to do with eggplant: slice it, brush with olive oil, and cook it outside on the barbecue grill. Then put in a container and cover with balsamic vinegar overnight. It is delicious! I also use to it make lasagna instead of noodles because of needing to keep to a low carb diet.

I need some help! I've got three Asian pear trees. They will produce a ton of fruit, but the pears on all three only grow to about the size of a large pea, then stop. I planted them in different areas, and they get water all summer, so I don't know why. Any help would be so welcome! Thanks!

You really need to try babaganoush. It's essentially hummus, but sub in roasted eggplant for the chickpeas. It's delicious! I grow a whole extra row of eggplant just for that. When I'm at max harvest, I roast and freeze it in recipe quantities, for easy babaganoush all year long.

Hi from Phoenix (zone 9b. During the summer I grow the Long Purple Eggplant and Okra. I quarter the eggplant, bread them and deep fry them. Same with the okra, slice, bread and deep fry. There are many nights that this is the only things that we have for our dinner. So good!

Obviously this doesn't apply to those of us living in northwest Canada! There is still literally almost four feet of snow atop my garden! It will be mid-April before it's gone. And then the soil is like molasses. Where do you guys live that you can start planting in March!

Eggplants are fabulous in stir-fry. You take off the skin, cube it and then stir-fry it with other veg. It takes on the flavours of the sauces you use and has a great texture. I made one last night along with using red peppers and spinach, a great sauce and noodles. Yum!

7: 24 It might be a pollinator magnet but there’s definitely a native plant in your area that does a better job of bringing in pollinators. Of course it depends on where you live, but for North Carolina Pycnanthemum is a great genus of plants to choose from

I'm growing eggplants this year, for the first time to. I have no idea what to do with them in the kitchen but still want to try, wish me luck with the growing, I have seeds from croatian seeds store so my varieties should be more cold tolerating.

Graylen is the official unofficial EMOTIONAL SUPPORT GARDENER of Texas. He has dried out tears and nurtured our tomatoes for years now. I am grateful the Epic Gardening audience can now benefit from his experience and encouragement

I feel like gardeners have the instinct to start planting seeds the way birds do for flying north and south. I've never really checked the weather, I always just one day find myself loading seed trays and warming up the seed mats.

Small editing suggestion! The VERY first time you introduce the epic gardening team, and you show all of their faces in the split screen, you should include their zone so that people can know ahead of time who fits their zone best!
