Soak the seeds overnight before sowing. Germination ideally occurs at 27°C (81°F); once emerged, keep the seedlings at around 23°C (73°F) under a good light source. Harden them off gradually, then transplant them into full sun once all risk of frost has passed. Plant them 60 cm (24 in) apart in rows 90 cm (35 in) apart in fertile, organically rich soil. Water regularly and fertilize lightly with a low-nitrogen fertilizer. In late summer, pinch off the new flowers three to four weeks before the first expected frost to concentrate the plant's energy on ripening the existing fruit. A ripe eggplant has a shiny skin that does not spring back when lightly pressed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53075851083936,"sku":"WSD-62223000010","price":3.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/3878\/5440\/files\/AubergineBiancaTonda.jpg?v=1764904085","url":"https:\/\/www.pepiniere.ca\/en\/products\/w-aubergine-bianca-tonda","provider":"Pépinière.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
