Two questions:
I have a variety of egg plant called "white cloud hybrid", how
big
do the fruits get and how do you know if they're ripe?
I have zucchini with a problem, of three plants only one seems to
try to fruit and when it does the squash only grow to about 3 inches then
turn yellow and start to rot, what do I need to do for these guys?
It might help for you to know I live in central Florida and the
weather has ranged from soaking wet for days at a time to dry and in the
mid
90's for days (this time of year nothing is consistent)
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Larry L. (a first year gardener')
1. White Cloud is a relatively small eggplant, Size depend somwewhat on
growing
conditions but six inches long should be in the ballpark. As has been
mentioned, eggplant should be picked before the the gloss fades from the
skin.
A bit harder to see with white eggplant but still applicable,
2. Sounds like you have no pollinating insects.
