Eggplant Problem – Updated
July 17, 2008
The advice I got was that I left it on plant too long, should have harvested earlier. Also the three new ones have doubled in size this last week. Can’t wait!
Can anyone help me identify what is wrong with this eggplant:
Why am I so yellow?
I harvested it on 7/13. It seemed to be getting less purple. Plus there were two new fruit forming, so wanted to give them a chance. I’ve had this curing in a paper bag since then, will let you know if it was just unripe.
Here are the other two on the same day:
I have this plant in a raised bed I made with cinder blocks. As you can see I planted marigolds in the holes of the cinderblocks. They’ve made the bed more aesthetically pleasing since this faces the street and my neighbor’s house. More importantly though it has hugely reduced the amount of insect damage done to my garden this year.
