Grew black beauty eggplant both up north (Long Island, NY) and here in west central Florida. The major difference to growing them down here that I can see is that I need to wait longer before getting them in the ground (which gets me past any freak freezes that may come along). BBs like our Florida summer heat. Before that the plants can sit there for weeks and just 'look at you' doing nothing. Up north we had a shorter growing season so that fact wasn't so obvious.
