Saw news there was rain today around DFW. Was hoping to read here that someone(s) got some relief.
So I have this Black Beauty Eggplant, which I actually planted about a year ago for last fall, but it never really went anywhere until this summer. I got three big fruits off of it, then nothing. There’s several dozen blossoms on it. I’ve read about hand pollination but that hasn’t produced anything.
The seed package says “produces 5 to 7” fruit. I assumed this meant “at a time”. But now I’m starting to wonder, is there such a thing as a determinate variety of eggplant? And if that’s what I have, why is it still blossoming? Is is just messing with me?
I don’t have a lot of room in the garden (massive understatement), and this thing is huge. If I need to cut bait, now is the time. But if not, I’d love to get it producing again. Anyone point me in the right direction here?
I have had eggplants with 5 or more on the plant at the same time with differing stages of development. I have never heard of a determinate variety.
