5's will do, a little bigger is better. treat as tomatoes and they'll probably do fine. ichiban and similar "japanese eggplant s" do better for me in containers than their regular globe eggplant counterparts, fwiw. - 3

type flowers. you can see some photos of it at: http://www.corybas.com/technical/mystery_plant.htm it reminds me rather of tobacco, but a greek friend tells us that it is a type of eggplant , and that if we had had it grafted we would have an ample supply of eggplants. can anyone cast any further light on what it is? james mcnangle - 2
i'm desperately trying to grow tomatoes and eggplant s in large pots without success. the pots are those large ones called tomatoe pots and i use a good quality potting mix. the few tomatoes that emerged were as tasteless as the store bought and only a small eggplant emerged. this last result is typical of several attempts so i'm - 2
winter vegetables, so do well. for a start "the picture" is overexposed. try taking the picture earlier in the morning, wen its not so bright. as far as eggplant diseases go, what sort of weather have you been having? the previous answers by others cover it well. too cold, no grow. youre doing well getting them to start at all. - 2
i have 40 pots seeded with eggplant s. i have 8 different types, 5 pots of each. it's been~10 days, and right now 3 of the 8 types are at 100% germination. ie 3 of the 8 varieties are all up, and none of the others have come up. are eggplants particular about germinating conditions? at what point do i give up, try to figure out - 2
i don't know what size tomatoe pots are and i can't help with eggplant s but in victoria i do successfully grow tomatoes in plastic garbage bins. i use a mixture of garden soil and well rotted compost and plant two climbing tomatoes per bin (usually grosse lisse). the bins are in full sun and the tomatoes are staked until they are - 1
of those where everything else yellows and produces badly. then again the rats around here come for miles to eat them so you can't win. i read about grafting tomatoes onto eggplant with the fv but haven't found the seeds here. i still look and hope to learn how to graft them. anyways gardening is a learning curve so keep trying and share - 1
planted some painted lady beans today to make up for all the peas that never came up :-( planted punnets of tomatoes, chillies, eggplant and capsicum, and perilla. will put them in my mini-greenhouse to encourage early germination. and i crawled around the back yard pulling up bindies :-/ front yard has heaps more bindies... - 1
pretty habit and flowers. swmbo wants them in the flower garden next year. the sweet corn worked this year (yum!) after last year being very chewy. chillis and eggplant are powering on in the heat. asparagus has proved very hardy under the circumstances, having failed in year #1. the trick turned out to be, plant out the seedlings - 1
