Eggplant and heat
 
I have a small greenhouse that I plan to setup next spring, it's a 6 X 8. I was thinking of growing some eggplants in the GH, but I do not plan an expensive ventilation system only a small fan blowing some air during the warmest part of the day.

How much heat can eggplants take?

IMHO, they can take heaps of heat. Way more than toms and right up there with peppers. They are heat-loving plants!
Best, Grubs.

My egg plants have put out with temps in the shade of 113 degrees F.:?:

I know a green house can get way hotter than that but they can take the [COLOR=Red]heat[/COLOR].8)

I agree, Eggplants can really take the heat and I've harvested very large numbers from individual plants. I don't have a ton of experiance but have had excellent results growing them in my hot and humid environment for the past two years.
