hello friends in today's episode we look at 4 varieties of eggplants being
harvested the first variety of eggplant we'll look at is called shooting stars now
I have covered growing this eggplant variety in one of my previous videos
and what we gonna do today is look at all the harvests that we made during
the last season for this eggplant variety and I will show you some
more eggplant varieties as well as you can see here this plant is a very
prolific grower the fruit size the eggplant size is medium to large and the
taste of this eggplant is absolutely delicious so all in all an easy variety to
grow and we were able to harvest a lot of eggplants from this eggplant variety now
it's very easy to grow this eggplant variety in containers as well as you can
see here this is a five-gallon container and it's very easy to grow this eggplant
variety in containers so a lot of you ask me a question as to what is the
minimum size container that you need to grow eggplants and the answer is about five
gallons five to seven gallons is a good container size make sure it's about
at least a 12 inches by 12 inches high as well that'll give you a lot of room
for your plants to grow well as you can see the fruit looks pretty good and
this is our harvest and we were able to harvest a lot of a eggplants of this
variety in the whole growing season
and moving on to the next eggplant variety this variety I'm just calling it
Rosa Bianca because this is the closest to the eggplant looks like
now when I received my plant seeds from a friend I did not know which variety of
eggplant it is but this is an absolutely delicious eggplant variety if you want to
grow a similar eggplant variety get the Rosa Bianca variety of eggplant
and you will not be disappointed that the taste this is a very creamy eggplant
very delicious and I've noticed that the lighter colored eggplants like the white and
the light pink, light purple like this variety
they taste great when you cook them with some kind of a gravy or sauce so if you want your
eggplants dry like you want to grill them there are some eggplant varieties
which we will come to but for any kind of cooking any kind of gravy this eggplant variety tastes
very delicious as you can see here the fruits are a small not very large
eggplants but it does produce a lot of a eggplants so although this plant looks
pretty small the fruits are small as well but its a high producer and once
again we are growing this eggplant variety in a container you can grow them in
raised beds as well as in containers and this is our Harvest again as you can see
very good looking eggplants
so the next eggplant variety we will look at is called the Black Beauty now
this is a very eggplant and it's also one of the most commonly grown
eggplants so if you visit your grocery store you cannot miss this eggplant
this is on the most popular eggplants that is grown commercially and for a
good reason the eggplant is enormous
i mean one eggplant will give you enough to even prepare one meal let's
say for 3 or 4 people so volume wise flesh wise it's a very large eggplannt and this is
why it's a great candidate for grilling or even baking so that you can make a
lot of popular eggplant dishes now some of these plants might be a little
smaller compared to the other ones but in general I would say that at this plant
produces medium to large fruits and although you can grow them in containers
what I have seen as that this eggplant produces larger eggplants when grown in
the ground or in raised beds
and now looking at the harvest for our fourth plant variety that this is the
tricolor eggplant it hints of white, purple, as well as a little
green and at now this is a very thorny eggplant it has a lot of thorns on it
and I will post links to some of the seeds that I used to grow this
eggplant in the video description so make sure you check them out now this is a
very pretty looking eggplant you just need to be careful when harvesting it
it does have a lot of thorns but because of these thorns what I've noticed is that
the eggplant was very resistant to pests
so very insects very less pests on these kind of egg plant

eggplant varieties if you wanna see more comprehensive growing guides please do
