Sowing

Timing: Start sowing Round Eggplant Seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost.
Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Enhance the soil with compost for added nutrients.
Sowing Method: Plant Round Eggplant Seeds in pots or trays filled with seed-starting mix, sowing the seeds about ¼ inch deep. Keep the soil consistently moist.
Light and Temperature: Place the containers in a warm, well-lit area or under grow lights. Eggplants require plenty of sunlight and temperatures around 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal growth.
Transplanting: Once seedlings reach a suitable size (about 3-4 inches tall) with a couple of sets of leaves, transplant them outdoors into well-prepared garden beds or containers.
Spacing: Space the transplanted seedlings about 18-24 inches apart to allow ample room for growth.
Watering and Mulching: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Apply mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Support: Consider staking or providing support to the eggplant plants as they grow to help bear the weight of the fruit.
Harvesting: Round Eggplants are ready for harvest when they reach a mature size and have a glossy appearance. Use pruning shears to cut the eggplants from the plant.
