What variety are you growing?
Just six plants of Black Beauty this year. After such small yields in the past several years, this year with the row cover is just an experiment. If it continues to be successful I will double the planting next year.

I use eggplant only for my incredible eggplant parm, so I like the shape of Black Beauty for this purpose. I plan to make and freeze numerous small trays from this crop.
