To be able to plant and grow eggplants successfully, you need to know how to start the seeds, spacing the seedlings, what climate is best to grow them and when to harvest. First you need to start the seeds indoors for atleast 7 weeks. Once the seeds start to sprout and grow about 6 inches high transfer them outdoors plant them for about two weeks. Usually during summer time eggplants grow much better. When planting the seedlings you should plant them at a depth of about 1/2 inches deep. Plant each seedlinga for about 24 inches in apart and about 36 inches apart when in rows. Watering them is essential to keep the soil moist. Make sure you plant them under direst sunlight, eggplants don't grow well under the shade. harvesting the fruits can be expected about 19 weeks depending what variety you are using.
