Gbogname Eggplant,Solanum macrocarpon Seeds

Gboname eggplant: Ancient vegetable from Togo, West Africa. Its young green leaves are cooked like collard greens. (2.5 to 3 inches - 7 to 8 cm in diameter) .

Eggplant seeds can be sown indoors and transplanted outdoors when they are at least six inches tall and the weather has warmed to at least 65 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit. To begin, poke a hole half an inch deep in each pot or tray that you are using, and sow two seeds in each. Lightly cover the seeds and place the pots or trays by a window with full sunlight. Eggplant needs moist soil to thrive, so keep the soil watered. Once you see two sets of leaves sprouting up, thin them out by cutting the weaker of the two down to soil level.
