It's better to start eggplant seeds earlier, but you might not be too late, as my plants are still fairly small, but will yield, and your season is probably quite a bit longer than ours.
I never had luck with Black Beauty -- warm season is just not long enough here, but the hybrid Dusky did well here when I could get it -- and now both Park and Burpee have early hybrids that are the same type and do well.
Park's Whopper Hybrid -- 62 day and Burpee Early Midnight -- 55 day.
(Remembering that DTM is useful for comparing varieties, but actual DTM varies)
