Growing Information

Planting

  • Start seeds indoors several weeks before the last frost to give plants a strong head start.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors once the soil has warmed and night temperatures remain consistently above 55°F.
  • Space plants to allow a mature height of twenty-four to thirty inches and ample room for air circulation.
  • Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and amend with compost to encourage strong early growth.
  • Ensure the planting location receives full sun, as this is essential for timely maturity at approximately 74 days.
  • Keep seedlings protected from early cold snaps to maintain steady development.

Maintenance

  • Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, as this variety performs best with consistent moisture.
  • Provide full sun exposure for vigorous growth and stable fruit development.
  • Support the plants if necessary, as mature plants typically spread eighteen to twenty-four inches and can become heavy with fruit.
  • Mulch around the base to help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
  • Monitor for pests such as flea beetles, and apply appropriate organic controls if needed.

Harvest & Storage

  • Harvest Black Beauty eggplants when the fruits reach their full glossy color and feel firm, which is typically around 74 days from transplanting.
  • Allow the fruit to grow to its typical mature size, which is generally six to eight inches long, while keeping the skin smooth and unwrinkled.
  • Use clean pruners to cut fruits with a small portion of stem attached to prevent damage and extend freshness.
  • Store harvested eggplants in a cool, slightly humid environment, avoiding refrigeration for extended periods as it can reduce quality.
  • For best flavor, enjoy the fruits soon after harvest, as their texture and richness are optimal when freshly picked.
