In cool climates plant in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks before the last average frost date. In mild climates, sow seed during cooler months, generally October through March. Soil should be kept moist while the seeds are germinating and beginning to grow. Be sure to keep the weeds pulled so they do not compete with the flowers for water and sun.

Eggplant - Bambino In addition to not having the bitter flavor that some full-sized eggplants have, Bambino is a tasty and attractive addition to your garden. The 1 foot tall plants are excellent in pots and display large, lavender flowers over an extended period. They are often used as a vegetarian substitute for expensive meats. Plant in the spring, 3 to 4 weeks after the last average frost date. If nighttime temperatures drop below 60 degrees, the fruit will not set. Provide 1 inch of water a week if it does not rain. |
