Newbie to growing Eggplant - needs advice

Fert1 · April 3, 2007

I'm growing eggplant for the first time this year and need more advice. I know about when to separate out and repot my tomato plants, but I wasn't sure about eggplant.

When do I separate and repot them? Do I have to be more careful than with tomato plants? Tomato plants seem to thrive from a little abuse now and then.

How deeply do I plant them? As deeply as tomatoes? I know they are in the same general family as tomato plants, but wasn't sure how similar to treat them. I appreciate any advice from the eggplant gurus present.
