Tracydr · April 15, 2014

I transplanted a small Asian variety two weeks ago and it's blooming like mad. I usually do the same. I've never tried planting them deep like I do tomatoes.
Peppers I do just like eggplants. I pick the hottest area of my gardens for the eggplants, too. They love heat!
I've never had aphids or flea beetles on my eggplants. I know flea beetles can be a big issue but haven't seen them. I get a few tomato worms each summer on eggplants and peppers but not much else. I never spray them with anything, either.
