Brian, has your eggplant been receiving sufficient water. My eggplants were a little stressed by the drought but now they have recovered and are continuing to grow nicely and produce new fruits.

I have a purple eggplant which has been growing fantastically until last week when it’s leaves began to turn brown and now the whole plant is looking like its going to die?

Any ideas on why this is and how to fix it?

I love the idea of heirloom eggplant! I do have some in my garden, but they are just the common type (Black Beauty maybe, is there a type with that name?) I’ve grilled eggplant quite a bit but no fancy recipes, just brush the eggplant with a bit of homemade vinaigrette (olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maybe a bit of garlic puree or mustard). It’s quite delicious. I’ll have to experiment with it a bit this year.

I just discovered The Seed Savers Exchange and they have several ornamental varieties of eggplant I want to try next year. My favorite is the Nipple Fruit Plant. Unfortunately it’s not edible but is used in floral arrangements. The Striped Toga is lovely too.
