I have also had lots of problems with eggplant over the years, mostly insect damage but also just small plants and low production. This year I put a row cover over my six eggplants at planting in late May and just removed it a couple of days ago. Wow! Big lush beautiful plants with lots of flowers. Finally I expect a good yield from these plants.
Eggplant are under the row cover on the left in the 1st photo (broccoli and cauliflower under the row covers behind, which also did very well!). That is a quart mason jar in the 2nd photo for perspective.
