| I couldn't find this topic in a search...
My eggplants have been in the ground for about a month now and I have just recently seen new growth. Imagine my surprise when I found that 2 of the plants are growing flowers already. Should I pinch off the flower so the plant will grow more? I think it is maybe 1' tall (the plant not the flower!). Thanks! crystal |

| This might be better for the vegetable forum but yes, you can pinch off the flowers until July 1 (as you can with pepper plants) to allow the root system to become more established which will in turn result in a healthier and maybe larger plant that will yield a higher number of fruit in the long run. |
