Some varieties of eggplants have an unusual mushroom taste that makes them spicy. All such varieties are collected in a special Round mix, which has been popular in the United States for the long time. These fleshy fruits weigh from 4 to 8 oz (100-250 g), are not bitter and their white, dense, juicy, and tender pulp contains only a few seeds. The varieties of this mix are characterized by a long cyclic fruiting period, from early to mid-season, with the first harvest 60-70 days after transplanting. Plants are compact, grow to a height of 12 to 15 inch (30-40 cm), and do not require support. Planting instructions: Eggplant must be started from seed indoors in most areas, 8 to 10 weeks before your last spring frost date. Sow eggplant seeds in cell packs or small pots. Water them well, cover loosely with a plastic bag or a plastic seedling flat cover to retain moisture, and place them in a warm spot―on top of the refrigerator or on seedling heat mats would be perfect. Keep the soil moist. You should see condensation on the inside of your plastic bag or dome. If you don't, then it's time to water with a gentle mist to avoid dislodging the seeds. The seeds will germinate without additional heat, but it will take longer. Generally, eggplant seeds germinate in 7 to 14 days. Once they've germinated, remove the plastic cover and place your pot or flat under lights or in a bright window. Continue to keep your eggplant seedlings moist as they grow for the next eight to ten weeks. Once soil temperatures reach 60 degrees F (15 С), it's time to start hardening your eggplant seedlings off and get them planted in the garden.
