• Seeds need to be planted in late February, early March to get the crop as early as possible, since the variety is late ripe.
• Seeds are planted to a depth of not more than 2 centimeters. If you plant a tomato deep, it will increase the germination period and slow down the development.

Reviews of gardeners about the tomato variety "Eggplant"

Bogdana Viktorovna, Krasnodar Territory.

We have a good climate, so I plant all the tomatoes only in open ground, some even in a non-seedling way. I liked the tomato "Eggplant". The variety is quite productive. The fruits ripen for a long time, but when you eat these tomatoes, you understand that the waiting time justifies itself. Tomatoes are tender and sweet, the taste is simply divine. Of course, you need to take care of a tall tomato more than a determinant, but believe me it's worth it.

Zhanna Alexandrovna, Crimea.

Tomato "Eggplant" was grown for the first time. The plant grew tall, about 1.5 m., Planted seedlings in open ground. A lot of fruits ensued, but in order to say that the stem was simply dotted with fruits, no. Tomatoes are large, fleshy and sweet. By their sweetness they will compete even with pink tomatoes. Their shelf life is average, ripe I lay for about a week and a half, then some fruits began to leak. I am satisfied with the variety, I advise my friends and neighbors.
