I have grown eggplants in this garden for five years, and I rotate
their position each year. This year, half of my eggplants are having
the same problem to greater or lesser degrees. The leaves will wilt at
the edges, and eventually turn brown, progressing to the point where
the entire leaf dies. There is no insect pests that I'm aware other
than a few slugs or flea beatles, but this does not appear to be
insect damage. It has not yet killed the entire plant. Not every plant
does this - the green eggplant plants seem to be more susceptible to
this than the purple ones (I grow about six or seven different
varieties). I've never see eggplants do this before. Does this sound
familiar to anyone?

Where are you? Eggplant needs hot... a few cold nights and they are
kaput.


Wilamette Valley, Oregon. Warm days in the 80s, cool nights. But I've grown
them here for five years, and this is the first time I've had problems.

My okra - that is another story - they hate the Northwest. Here it is the
end of August, and the warm weather is going to end in about 3 weeks, and
they are just now starting to blossom...

But eggplants have always done good here....
