Description: Eggplant Seeds - Talong Purple No.1 Heirloom, Philippines Most Used Eggplant, Premium Non-GMO, Open Pollinated, US Grown Seed, Always Fresh! Eggplant Seeds - Talong Purple No.1. Heirloom, Non-GMO. Annual. Solanum melongena. 70 to 80 Days to maturity. Talong Purple Long #1 eggplant is one of the most popular grown eggplants in the Philippines. The fruit grows 6-8 inches long and has purple color skin with a green calyx. It is tolerant to bacterial wilt and Phomopsis rot Sowing: Though gardeners with long growing seasons will be able to direct sow their eggplant seed when the soil reaches 70 degrees F, starting the seed indoors is best in most areas. About 8-10 weeks before the last expected spring frost, plant these long purple eggplant seeds in pots 1/4" deep. Keep them in a sunny window or under a grow light, maintaining a temperature of around 80 degrees. Germination of eggplant can be spotty, and may take several weeks. Keep the seedlings moist and provide organic matter for the best development. Gradually expose them to the elements by leaving the pots outdoors during the day. When the average air and soil temperature reach 70 degrees, or about 3 weeks after the last frost, plant the seedlings in well drained soil in full sun; for fullest growth, allow each plant 2-3' in all directions. Eggplant also grows very well in container gardens; most northern gardeners depend on this method in order to succeed in growing this heat loving plant. Growing: Eggplant thrives in the full heat of summer; row covers, black plastic, or other methods to conserve heat may be necessary in some climates. If temperatures threaten to fall below 55 degrees F, cover the plants. As soon as the seedlings become established, mulch them to conserve moisture and control weeds. Keep the soil evenly moist, and apply fertilizer or organic matter once monthly. SHIPPING INFO*********** Tracking is only available for all orders $14 and above.
