Eggplants are in season 🍆 I have been harvesting for 2 weeks already and these fruits taste great 😛👍 Trying to grow a few different types, alot of variety in these. #eggplant #aubergine #fruit #gyo #food #healthyfood #permaculture #foodforrest #fruit #edibleplants #la #losangeles #cali #california #gardening #garden #landscaping #foodscaping

@gjones i can grow them here in socal in spring - early fall. doesnt seem they need a ton of time, usually seed to fruit in 2.5 months. like 50 varieties, so try some out bc different genetics. the 1st 3 i tried all died but last 3 types all good 👍😃

Wow. They look great. Mine have been a disaster this year- too cold here ☹

@gjones heatmats help sometimes in cold areas, i grow some on a mountain for a client and in cold i put heatmats under where i plant them lol
