Going back in time... March 8th, several days before new moon, started my eggplants in the basement. This year I chose two varieties, "Little Fingers" and "Black Champion"( I'm getting all of my seeds from rareseeds.com. They are usually wonderful, all organic, heirloom etc.) The eggplants are very stubborn, capricious, finicky in the beginning. But we love them cooked in any way, well Jimmy and I do (Barbara DOES NOT eat veggies). Anyway... I even got a heating mat for starting eggplants. It works much better then putting my cells into the oven, and then forgetting to take them out several times. So (cross my fingers ) saw my seeds, put them under the T-5 lights and on the heating mat. I can't think of any better way to start a veggie. Oh, and I started basil too, just for the kitchen, not yard.
