EGGPLANT BONICA SCOT.

A Summer vegetable, needing a sunny well sheltered position. The plants are frost tender and the fruit is subject to sunburn, planting in blocks helps to overcome this problem. Eggplants need good drainage and complete fertiliser added to soil prior to planting. A side dressing of nitrogenous fertiliser (pelletised chicken manure) prior to setting fruit helps build strong plants to develop and support large fruit.

Eggplant Bonica produces deep purple, pear shaped fruit, borne by sturdy plants and has good fruit setting habits. Plants may need staking once they reach 30cm in height. Harvest fruit when they are shiny and firm, over large dull fruit are often bitter
