Diamond - Eggplant
This old-fashioned, highly productive variety produces clusters of 4 to 6 slender, 15 to 20 cm-long fruits with a very good, bitter-free flavor. The small size of its plants, no more than 60 cm high, makes it perfect for container cultivation.

Sow in pots at a temperature of around 24°C, under a well-lit shelter, 10 weeks before planting. At the 2-3 leaf stage, transplant into individual cups if necessary, or into a nursery. After the last frosts, transplant the whole clod, burying the stem up to the first leaves, 50 cm apart in all directions. To lift dormancy, place seeds in the refrigerator for a week, at a temperature of 4 to 5°C.
Solanaceae need light and heat to produce. In cool climates, it's best to grow them under cover.
