I try to plant something ‘different’ each year as an experiment. Today I put in one eggplant in a large container. I have never seen them growing and have googled eggplant for cultivation ideas. The eggplant will be this year's experiment.
Since you grow eggplant any insight you can offer me w/b appreciated. Do they need staking? You mentioned bugs—what kind?
I am in zone 7 and grow tomatoes, peppers and squash with good success.

Expect your eggplant to be a lot like zucchini or yellow squash in growth. Just about as easy to grow too.

Eggplant is easy to grow. I can even do it! Mine needed to be staked last year. Depending on the variety and when you harvest it can get to be heavy vegetable.
