Eggplant 'Farmer's Long'

Farmer’s Long Eggplants bear beautiful long, glossy, magenta/purple fruits that are 7-10" long. The tall, vigorous plants are high yielding and early to mature.

Eggplants want full sun and very warm conditions for best production. Amend soil with plenty of compost and a good organic vegetable fertilizer. Space plants 1.5 feet apart and water regularly. Support these heavy bearing plants with a tomato cage or sturdy stakes.

Harvest when fruits are full size and fully colored up. Use in any of your favorite eggplant recipes. They are delicious in thick slices simply brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with sea salt and herbs and baked. They are excellent stir fried with ginger, basil and soy sauce.
