Patio Baby Eggplant Seeds
Pocket-Sized Flavor Treasure
Patio Baby Eggplant, a compact cultivar originating from Asia, has garnered attention for its petite size and abundant production, making it an ideal choice for container gardens and small spaces.
The plant typically reaches a height of 12 to 18 inches, boasting a bushy, compact form adorned with small, dark green leaves that beautifully complement its diminutive size. The fruits are small, oval-shaped, and glossy purple, resembling miniature eggplants, adding an adorable charm to any garden setting.
Taste-wise, Patio Baby Eggplant offers a mild, delicate flavor and a tender texture when cooked. Despite its small size, the fruit retains a creamy consistency and is ideal for various culinary applications, especially in dishes like stir-fries, grilling, or as a colorful addition to salads.
When planting from seed, Patio Baby Eggplant thrives in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with full sun exposure. Begin by starting seeds indoors in a warm environment, around 70-85°F (21-29°C), for successful germination. Once seedlings have developed several true leaves, they can be transplanted into containers or garden beds with a spacing of 12 inches between plants to allow for optimal growth.
Regular watering, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged, supports healthy plant development and encourages continuous fruiting throughout the growing season. Patio Baby Eggplant's compact size, prolific fruiting, and versatile culinary uses make it a popular choice for gardeners looking to cultivate eggplants in limited spaces or in container gardens.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Eggplants prefer moderately fertile, well-drained loamy soil supplemented with plenty of added organic matter and a pH of 6.0-6.8. Eggplants require heavy water and warm soil.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds directly in warm climates only. Because eggplants need plenty of water and warm conditions to grow, production accessories such as drip irrigation, plastic mulch, and row covers are a good idea. All eggplants are chill sensitive.
Harvesting & Storage: Begin harvesting early when fruits are half their mature size; young fruits are more tender and early picking will increase yields. Cut the fruit from the plant with shears leaving some stem attached.

Let customers speak for us
I grow this in old litter boxes for a bunny & Guinea pig rescue- it is a great treat! Grows fast, thick and moist. I also grow it in my catio for my cats
High quality saffron corms that shipped when they said they would. They started sprouting in my cabinet within a week so definitely plant them quickly after receiving.
They looked good when the plants arrived. Waiting for planters to transplant so they'll have more room, but not planting in the garden to avoid the mint from spreading all over. They're still alive....
Beautiful seed garlic
This tree takes a lot of patience, both in years to fully fruit out and in terms of how late in the season the peaches finally ripen, - the end of September here in zone 5b, - but boy are they amazing when they come in! I have two other peach trees, - Redhaven and Reliance, which have wonderful fruit, but these Indian Free White peaches are amazing. The aroma alone is incredible. These also have thicker skins, more "fuzz," which you can rub off, and are a bit on the acidic side, but OH so yummy! I have gotten raves from the farmers who tried them.
Been using this for last couple growing season. Works wonders for the garden.
This hose gets dragged over bark and around raised garden beds, and also over concrete and a weedy hillside to water a couple trees. So far it has performed well and there aren't any leaks or kinks!
I have not had a chance to plant these yet as it’s still a little early. Package came quickly and garlic was beautiful, can’t wait to plant it.
This is a great addition to my veg garden area!
These branch supports work well, are sturdy, and relatively cheap. While you do have to provide your own poles, you can buy wooden or metal ones of your needed length at hardware or home improvement stores. We ordered ten at first and then bought ten more after seeing how the first ones worked.
Of course I wanted a hand made wooden trug, but they are expensive! This plastic one is easy to clean, and the perfect size. I love the drainage holes.
No lightweight nonsense here! These are the one of the industry standards in tree pots and they have become our go to on the tree farm. You will find lightweight look-a-likes out there, but most only serve one time use. These have held up for years and been used multiple times in some cases.
This has become one of my new favorites for all around propagation. From seeds to cuttings we use this mix for our fig trees and have had unbelievable success. The mix is formulated for strong and fast root development. No complaints about it!
These trays are great. Everything is ready to go.
I use them for cuttings and seed starting and haven't been disappointed yet.
I had the frustration of having my dog dig up my citrus trees and figs out of their containers. I was furious. This granular repellent has stopped the dog completely. So now, the dog can stay.
