So, Ichiban eggplants don't grow very big. How do I know when is the best time to harvest them?
I failed to pay attention last year when the roommate harvested the eggplants we grew last year. It seemed he left some on the plant too long, I thought. The other time I grew eggplants for my late husband and didn't pay attention at that time either - because of my dislike of eggplants. But now that I've decided to really check out different eggplants, I think I should at least know when my first eggplant will be ready to eat. I don't want my education of eggplants to be ruined because I harvest them at the wrong time. I am still hopeful there is an eggplant I will like the taste of, I only have to grow enough to sample to discover the right one for me.
