How often eggplants need to be fertilized? I have couple of them planted last spring and they got few flowers on them now. Do they need to be fertilized now?

[@fawnrosenberg1997]

Can you put all amendments together in watering ca? Ie, fish emulsion, worm casting tea , epsom salts, etc together in the watering can?

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Yes you can put fish and seaweed but put tge Epsom salt separately

[@shobharaja]

Hi, loved the video, although I am late in germinating the seeds, I plan on getting a plant. I noticed that you also have Karpuravalli, do you sell this plant, how much would it be? I had a big pot but lost it to winter about 2yrs back. Would love to get a small stem to propagate a new plant . Please let me know

[@BeauteeInTheGarden]

[@tammiebowser6710]

Great tips! Also when will you choose seed giveaway winners?

[@laurafrey5244]

Great video. I'm struggling with when to pick my eggplants. I planted what I thought was black beauty, but after the get to be about the size of an apple, they begin to turn white/grayish. 1. Can I still eat them. 2. Is it possible that they are actually the little prince variety? I'd appreciate any thoughts.

[@jyothijasti4091]

Great video! Would Fish emulsion be recommended if I already have a leafy large plant flowering & used slow release granular organic fertilizer at the time of planting and again in a month? Asking so I don’t overdo on the Nitrogen

[@ashleytewksbury1751]

I'm wondering this too! I just applied Neptune's Harvest fish and seaweed fertilizer (2-3-1) today. Wondering if that ratio would be better since I already have decent sized leaves?

[@guyanesegyalgarden8656]

I love eggplant! I grow a lot every summer and I started my seed in March🌱

[@FunnySurpriseToys]

Hey Friend! Nice job! Like #16

[@pansywalkerrn4186]

Any hot climate give you all year round planting ability.

[@masterpiece9449]

Hi I bought this plant from store and put it in the ground I was flowering but they don’t turn into fruit. Now it’s not even flowering I have given fish fertilizer to the plant but don’t have success same with my bell pepper and Serrano pepper all of them are in the ground and in Tx it’s very hot here. plz guide what to do.

[@shanusinha4679]

Can we use compost?

[@owa8609]

This work for other night shades, like tomatoes and peppers?

[@Poojadhaval123]

How do we do pollination?

[@GustavoGuerreroE]

Hey California Gardening, thanks for the nice video! I have eggplants and have problems with the aphids, taking care now with neem oil. Could you give me an advice on how often to spray with the oil. Also, how often do you fertilize your eggplants?

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Spray neem oil every 3 days till you don't see any aphids. For fertilizers use tomato/vegetable fertilizer and also worm tea every 10 days. You can get worm tea from vermisterra.com use coupon code cag for 10% off

[@GustavoGuerreroE]

@@CaliforniaGardening Many thanks! I'm in Brazil now, but I can get here the worm tea an other organic fertilizers. Cheers.

[@savannaheckman5493]

So for hand pollinating all I do is use an electric toothbrush on the flowers? And can I do this method with other veggies or fruits? Thank you :)

[@irishvaldez2249]

Hello sir thanks for sharing...it's really helpful. I got question and maybe can help me. My eggplant is of 8" hight now and i noticed that the leave below are 1 by 1 turning yellow then dropped hence it continue growing. I give fertilizer last week of 16 16 16 npk 2 weeks after repotting. Do you have an idea of the yellow leaves problem? Thanks in advance. Pot got 15% vermicast + 55% potting soil + 15 coco coir + 2 tbsp of bone meal + 15% premium compost. Approximately though. 😁 i worry that if i feed more it'll be over fertilised. 🙄

[@helenahatzman5017]

very good,thank you!

[@salmasusvlogs4784]

Thank you so much!

[@sreeprakash3832]

From were I can collect different varieties of egg plant seeds

[@lanilove1617]

Can you add the Fish Emulsion and Worm Tea together in the water? Or can we only use each one separately

[@radhikabasket8622]

👌👌

[@aurelia4297]

can i grow them in shade?

[@rosanagopaul5954]

My egg plant flowers keep falling what can b done thanks am from Trinidad and Tobago

[@anthonycoelho1148]

When an eggplant is around 8 to 10 inches tall. Can the plant be de leafed even the top nip leaf & would more branches develop (like we call pinching method) wanted to know if this method is true to increase branches for more veg fruits.

[@deepalib3096]

I had grown brinjal.... They are quite easy to grow

[@wittnguyen5499]

Help my eggplant grow fruits could not mature die what should I do?

[@clncaaquintero3595]

how did you pollinate with a toothbrush?

[@c.m.1311]

New gardener here-thanks for the video. So when you pollinate them with a toothbrush, you just vibrate the back of the flower for a few seconds? What other vegetables should you do this with?

[@sternistellaris]

You have to do it with tomatoes too. I dont use the toothbrush, I do soft vibrations with my fingers.

[@kailashchaggar9963]

Hi am in U.K. we don't have worm tea here in UK how i get this ?

[@glorialvin]

have u tried hydroponic eggplant

[@indarsamlal4558]

Nice video sir ,i plants a few eggplants an they just flowered an it keeps falling off ,Another thing insects has the leaves turning yellow an brown ,What insecticide should i use thanx

[@CaliforniaGardening]

I only recommend diatomaceous earth or neem oil

[@mchaud01]

Can you take seed from the fresh egg plant and seed it?

[@kaushikbaral976]

Do you have a seed shop? If yes do you ship to India?

[@Lochness19]

I personally prefer guidelines on how long to grow young plants indoors before transplanting. For example, here our last frost is Apr 14 on average, but two weeks after that is still too cold imo, with an average high of 55F and average low of 40F. I think 6 weeks after last frost is a better time to transplant heat loving plants - when the average high is 70F and average low is 50F. Maybe even 7-8 weeks after last frost for an average high of 75F and average low of 55F. Some climates are very warm soon after their last frost (ex southern US), but more oceanic type climates might still be quite cool. So I prefer guidelines like "start seedlings 8-10 weeks before the time when you have 50-60F nights".

[@jikostravellingvlog]

how big container do we need??8" inch deep will b enough?? pls reply

[@KSliauderis]

mm yummy :)

[@chem779]
