Eggplant is an unpretentious vegetable crop to grow.
In this article, we will tell you how and where it is best to grow eggplants.
Where is the best place to grow eggplants
Loamy soil is good for growing eggplants. Avoid too acidic, heavy soil for vegetables.
Eggplants should be planted in open ground after frost.
Before outdoor temperatures settle, grow your seedlings indoors or in a greenhouse.
If the air temperature is low, plants can shed ovaries en masse.
To get a good harvest, it is recommended to plant eggplants in a greenhouse or under arches with a cover made of non-woven material.
This way you will get a rich harvest of eggplants.
What not to plant next to eggplants
Professional gardeners believe that the worst neighbors for eggplants are tomatoes, potatoes and peppers.
The fact is that these vegetables exchange pests that devour inflorescences and ovaries.
