Homeowner Growing Tips: Make sure plants get plenty of water and fertilizer. Eggplants don't want to sit soggy, so make sure the soil drains well. Stake the stems or provide a cage or trellis to help the plant support the large fruits. A good test of ripeness is to press your thumb into the skin and if the indentation stays, it is ready for harvest.
