I am also a father with a young son who sometimes interrupt my gardening. I find it adorable and heartwarming the way you and your son interact politely and full of understanding. Don't mind those saying they are not pleased with the interruptions. I am happy watching this video and I'm looking forward on enjoying my own black beauty eggplants with my son and wife.
Brother, so glad you didn't edit out the "blessed interruptions" by the lil guy!!! As a Dad of 5 grown kids, and now a Papa of 10 grandkids, PLEASE cherish every single moment with your babies. Before you now it, they've grown and started families of their own. Great vid, by the way. I really screwed up on the harvesting of our eggplant! They're all dull and discolored.
GREAT video!!!!! 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤ I can't stop laughing because it's real and TRUE! Dad is wonderful!!!!! When I'm in the garden I also have to multi-task, grandkids, dogs, other adults, etc... I'm growing eggplants which is why I tuned in. Very Informative and entertaining! Beautiful family! I'm now subscribed! ❤ HSTL zone 6
Thank God Every day for a Healthy Son/grandson. My baby is a Adult now and Severely mentally and physically disabled with the mind of an infant. I cry DAILY. I Adore my baby so much. I wish I could know what his voice sounds like, or laugh, or see him walk or hear a word, know his likes etc.. PLEASE be grateful Everyone ❤God Bless all our children.
Lovely garden and nice size eggplant . I had to harvest three of mine even though they were small Due to loosing shine and the color was fading to green
Watched half the video and thought, I better harvest. Proceeds to stab myself with a thorn, then finishes the video and hears “be careful of the thorns” 😂 Always watch the WHOLE video first!!!
I see the shine. Nice video. I'm looking to find a fast growing eggplant that Is not to big. Picked up these eggs for me to try, Rosa Bianca, Melanzana Rossa Di Rotonda and Lucky Tiger. I think they are all big ones, although the Lucky Tiger is more a plum shape. ❤️🙏
Can you tell me why my black beauty's in the ground are growing round and are quickly turning a light purple color and the plants I have in containers are beautiful dark shiny purple but staying extremely small ? (ten gallon containers)
We have found ourselves in a similar situation with our eggplants this season. Even though eggplants love heat, we had a long spell of 100 degrees temps with no rain, and that was just too hot. Many things in our garden really suffered this season because of the temperature alone! As far as your plants in the containers, they do best in very dark colored containers, as to absorb as much heat as possible, but eggplants do prefer being in a bed or in the ground. Hope this helps, and hope you've been able to enjoy some of your harvest!
@@GardenofEnders oh yes indeed I made alot of home made eggplant parmesan, they still taste fantastic and im getting alooooott of eggplants was just concerned I had a soil deficiency or something it has deficiency been super hot here in south Ms but we have been getting a little too much rain and I was also afraid they were getting too much water, the one I have in a container is a black container but is for some reason just growing very tiny fruit but super tender and tasty
Awww how sweet☺️ all the love in this video is so beautiful ❤️..and thanks for the advice. First one that popped up and had exactly what I was looking for and more!👍👍
My first two are about half the size of yours, but to me it almost seems like they're losing their sheen a little bit, so I'm going to pick them. I have fertilized and done everything correctly so I'm not sure why I'm not getting larger fruits. And I only have four of them growing at the moment, no new flowers, and it's mid-august already. 😢. But the plant itself is vibrant and healthy and green with big nice leaves. I broke off a bunch of blooms a while ago when these 4 fruits started because they say they only have between like four to six growing at a time, but I thought I would start getting new blooms when these started to ripen and I haven't. I do have the Little sprouts coming up between the stems that usually put out blooms but I don't see any new little buds yet. Hoping to get at least one more round of egg plants before winter.
Great Question! Keep in mind you can pick at any point during the growing process as long as the egg plant has reached a somewhat mature size based on the variety, which can be found either on the back of the seed pack or on the plant tag. You’ll have to trial and error it though based on the bitterness or toughness of the variety after you cook it.
Your video is a great reminder of the value of patience and perseverance. It takes a lot of time and effort to grow and harvest melons and oranges, but the end result is so worth it. And the fact that you're able to make a living by selling them at the market is even more impressive. Keep up the great work! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
I find stuff in your home garden is usually always smaller, for the most part not always but more often than not. However it usually makes up for the small size in much better flavor. And then sometimes you'll have stuff that is 10x the size of storebought stuff cause they can't sell those inconsistent freakish sized things at market. So that's kinda the fun of home growing you never know what you're gonna get but it's always fun no matter the outcome. Unless of course the outcome is a bunch of diseased and dying plants that no matter what you seem to do just keep dying, there's nothing fun about that, even that though, if you manage to bring them back from the brink of death with fertilizing and care and sprays and love, that stress suddenly turns into joy and an amazing feeling of knowing that you brought these plants back from abyss and now they are the thriving. My bf always wants to give up on plants the second they start looking a little tired and I'm always saying that if there is still green then it's alive and trying to live and there is a chance to bring it back. We had a purple bell pepper I refused to give up on this year and sure enough it came back. He wanted to tear it out so many times hahaha. Anyways though, I'm rambling. The eggplants look great sir, keep it up.
Beautiful harvest and layout! Thank you for your wisdom but mostly thank you for sharing your precious son with us. Ours are long grown and we miss their voices!
Thank you for this video... It was really helpful... I guess we waited a bit too long to harvest and some fruits lost it's sheen and got whitish coat...
We like to have marigolds throughout the garden, as it is so effective in repelling pests and insects that can wreak havoc, especially on young eggplant plants! Very compatible!
Hello, I am having problems with growing tomatoes, they start off fine, then they die, got any suggestions, Very nice garden, very educational, I have to go and harvest my eggplants, thanks
Sonyad Manciel do you have any pics of what your plants look like when they start to die. If you can send a pic to me I will be able to help. If you don’t have a pic can you just describe it to me and I might be able to help.
When I am listening to a video for information, I find the child interrupting and wasting my time annoying. So not subscribing. But the dog is cool....
We’re sorry you feel that way. We do have young children, and we encourage them to be in the garden with us, so they will have a tendency to pop in from time to time. Hopefully you find other content creators that give you the information you’re looking for. Happy gardening!

I just tried to pick one mine. It stabbed me (I forgot about the thorns on the green part). I just walked away, "fine, you're not ready yet" 😅.
That’ a HUGE eggplant!! Will this apply to mini eggplants?
Thanks this will help.
how long does it normally take though
Awww how sweet☺️ all the love in this video is so beautiful ❤️..and thanks for the advice. First one that popped up and had exactly what I was looking for and more!👍👍

Is it ok to pick it purple if the sheen is dull? Is that too early?

Beautiful harvest and layout! Thank you for your wisdom but mostly thank you for sharing your precious son with us. Ours are long grown and we miss their voices!
Thank you for knowing when your eggplant is ready to harvest and how to cut it off the plant! Good parenting job as well!
Thankyou,very helpful

Hello from indonesia
Being a Father is priceless God Bless❤
Mine is still green on the top. Is that too early or too late?
Helpful AND adorable! Thank you
Perfect timing! Father's Day
I will take as many extra ones of those you have. That one looked really good.
I see marigolds planted near the eggplant. Do you recommend planting them like by the tomatoes?
We like to have marigolds throughout the garden, as it is so effective in repelling pests and insects that can wreak havoc, especially on young eggplant plants! Very compatible!

Mom can't you take you child away for a moment so we can learn from what he's teaching us. just for a moment mom.
It's alright mam. As I am also a gardening papa with my own son I approve of his adorable son sometimes stealing the show.
