EggplantBlack Beauty
Eggplant (Black Beauty). A warm-season crop that punishes anyone in a hurry. We hold it back until nights are reliably above 55°F, then it goes hard.

Care notes
Growing vegetables, the short version.
Tip 1
Hardened off before they leave the nursery. Plant them outside the same week if possible.
Tip 2
Mulch right after planting to keep soil temperature steady.
Tip 3
Water at the base, not the leaves. Disease loves wet foliage.
