Sowing

Timing: Start eggplant seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Transplant them outdoors when the weather and soil are consistently warm.
Soil Preparation: Use well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Eggplants prefer a slightly acidic soil with a pH around 6.0 to 6.8.
Sowing Method: Sow the seeds in small pots or seed trays filled with potting mix about 1/4 inch deep. Keep the soil consistently moist.
Temperature and Sunlight: Place the pots or trays in a warm location with temperatures around 70-85°F (21-29°C) and provide ample sunlight or artificial light.
Transplanting: Once the seedlings have grown several sets of true leaves and the outdoor conditions are suitable, transplant them into larger containers or into the garden. Space them about 18-24 inches apart.
Maintenance: Provide support like stakes or cages for the plants as they grow. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and control weeds. Water regularly and fertilize with a balanced fertilizer as needed.
Harvesting: Harvest eggplants when they reach the desired size and color. Use pruning shears to cut the eggplants from the plant.
