WHITE ROUND EGGPLANT SEEDS White eggplant, also known as "white aubergine," is a variety of eggplant (Solanum melongena) that produces pale or creamy white fruits instead of the traditional dark purple color. It has a mild and slightly sweet flavor, making it a popular choice for culinary applications. To grow white eggplants from seeds, you can follow these general guidelines: Seed Selection: Purchase high-quality white eggplant seeds from a reputable source. Look for varieties specifically labeled as white or pale-skinned eggplants. Starting Seeds Indoors: Start the seeds indoors about 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Fill a seed tray or small pots with a seed-starting mix, and plant the seeds about ¼ inch deep. Keep the soil consistently moist and place the tray or pots in a warm location with ample sunlight or under grow lights. Transplanting Seedlings: Once the seedlings have developed several sets of leaves and the threat of frost has passed, they can be transplanted outdoors. Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week or so. Choose a sunny location in your garden with well-drained soil. Soil Preparation: Prepare the planting area by loosening the soil and removing any weeds or debris. Incorporate organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, to improve soil fertility and drainage. Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball of the seedling. Gently remove the seedling from its container, being careful not to damage the roots, and place it in the hole. Backfill the hole with soil and firm it gently around the base of the plant. Spacing: Provide adequate space between plants, as eggplants generally require room to grow. Space the plants about 18 to 24 inches apart, allowing them enough room to spread out. Watering and Mulching: Water the newly transplanted seedlings thoroughly and maintain consistent soil moisture throughout the growing season. Applying a layer of organic mulch around the plants can help retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth. Care and Maintenance: Eggplants are heavy feeders, so fertilize them regularly with a balanced fertilizer according to the package instructions. Monitor the plants for pests, such as aphids or flea beetles, and take appropriate measures if an infestation occurs. Stake or provide support for the plants if they become top-heavy with fruit. Harvesting: Harvest the white eggplants when they reach their mature size and have a glossy appearance. Depending on the variety, the fruits may be ready to harvest 60 to 80 days after transplanting. Use a sharp knife or pruners to cut the fruits from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached. By following these steps, you should be able to grow white eggplants from seeds and enjoy their unique flavor and appearance in your garden.
