Congradulations Tom on your 1st eggplant. I too am growing them for the first time this year. I started 2 types, Diamond and Early Black Egg and so far only the EBE has germinated with one sprout. I planted on March 19th. I will grow them in the 5 gal. growbags. This is a big experiment for Alaska's short growing season. Folks with "real" greenhouses probably do okay with growing eggplants up here.
