How to plant Brinjal from seeds - Vegetable gardening at home

• Brinjal grows best in a well-drained sandy loam or loam soil, fairly high in organic matter

• Sow brinjal seeds in cell packs or small pots, 1/4 inch deep.

• Water them well, cover loosely with a plastic bag to retain moisture, and place them in a warm spot

• Do not plant brinjal transplants into the garden until after the last threat of frost.

• For bigger fruits, restrict to five or six per plant.

• Pinch out the terminal growing points for a bushier plant

• If growing in containers, stake the stems before the fruit forms.
