Eggplant

Eggplant is a heat-loving crop that thrives in the Growing Dome environment, with longer effective seasons and the ability to grow varieties that wouldn't reach maturity outdoors in cooler climates. From classic Italian globes to slender Asian and Thai varieties to striking white and striped types, dome owners are growing eggplant at home with quality and variety the supermarket can't match. Explore variety selection, pollinator considerations, trellising techniques, harvest timing, and recipes from baba ghanoush to grilled rounds to eggplant Parmesan that use peak-ripe fruit.
