  • the wonderful great tasting white eggplants

  • so there we are all - all types of eggplants right here for you

  • so let's get started. So to successfully grow good eggplants

  • you need a few things : You need nice, warm weather

  • eggplants thrive in warm weather so late spring, summer

  • you know excellent time to plant eggplants. They do very well in containers you can

  • see it right here

  • this one's a black beauty eggplant growing in a container

  • here are some more tips on growing eggplants

  • just like tomatoes, eggplants

  • will love low nitrogen fertilizers

  • they just like phosphorous and potassium rich fertilizers

  • you can go organic you can get all the organic fertilizers that you like

  • you'll see some links in the video description below

  • but do not feed them a lot of nitrogen as all you're gonna end up with is

  • getting big huge green leaves and not many eggplants

  • here's one more trip - in the growing season

  • every 15 to 20 days give some Epsom salt solution to your eggplants

  • it'll make them thrive. So let's start harvesting some eggplants from these

  • containers

  • once again these are the black beauty varieties

  • the black beauties is one of the easiest varieties to grow here in the

  • United States in california's zone nine and depending on where you are

  • you might wanna find the best variety to grow locally

  • in my experience the best produce that you can

  • get out of your garden is by growing

  • varieties that thrive locally

  • the black beauty is a pretty popular variety though and it's very easy to get

  • seeds in any garden store

  • or you can just get the plants and plant them in your garden

  • now let's take a look at some other eggplant varieties

  • Now this is a whisky barrel container and I'm growing three varieties of

  • plants in the same whiskey barrel. One is a black beauty that we just saw

  • in the beginning of this video there's also a Japanese variety - the Japanese

  • eggplant that you see right here

  • and then there's also a white eggplant that's also in the same barrel

  • so as you can see here these Japanese eggplants are ready for harvest

  • so the are two nice eggplants full-bodied

  • not as much full-bodied as a black beauty but still packs quite a volume

  • so here you see a harvest bowl. It has a lot of black beauty eggplants that was

  • harvested in a day

  • as well as some Japanese eggplants

  • so now the come to the most interesting

  • next a variety of eggplant - the white eggplant!

  • Now white eggplants grow similar to

  • the other eggplant varieties we saw. In fact one is going in the same whiskey

  • barrel as the other

  • two varieties of eggplants. The white eggplants of course look white

  • very different from the regular eggplanks. Now as far as taste goes, white

  • eggplants have a nice

  • rich creamy taste to them It's very different from the regular

  • the purple eggplants that you see and you'll be amazed at the flavor you

  • should try it out if you haven't tried out white eggplant, you should try it out

  • its got a very different creamy kind of flavor

  • and just like other eggplants, white eggplants will keep producing

  • throughout the season. Very easy to grow

  • you must try it out if you haven't tried growing it already

  • so that's all we have for you in this episode

  • I hope you enjoyed watching all the different varieties of plants

  • and I'm sure you'll give it a shot growing all varieties

  • Happy Gardening!
