Treat Eggplant As
Tomato In Garden
Do you have eggplant on
your gardening list this
spring? This isn't among
the most popular items in
Tar Heel gardens, but it is
one that can be easily
grown and enjoyed.
Eggplant isn't difficult to
grow. In fact if you are
successful at growing tomatoes,
there isn't any
reason to believe you won't
be successful growing eggplant.
This vegetable is a close
relative to the tomato and
thrives under similar conditions,
according to N. C.
Agricultural Extension
Service horticulturists.
Eggplants and tomatoes,
for examDle, need full sun.
they fruit over a long period
and, therefore, need
more fertilizer than most
vegetables-but not all at
one time.
The North Carolina State
University extension specialists
suggest applying
about five to eight pounds
of an 8-8-8 analysis
fertilizer per 100 feet of
row when the eggplants
are planted. Follow this
with two cups of nitrogen
sidedressing per 100 feet of
row at roughly three-week
intervals.
Two good varieties of
eggplant are Florida Market
and Special Hibush.
Two other good varieties
are Classic and Midnite.
Plant when the danger of
frost has passed. Set plants
a minimum of three feet
apart in the row and
provide at least 12 to IS
square feet of space per
plant.
When transplanting, set
the plants so that about 60
percent of their stem
length is below ground.
Water the transplants well
and firm the soil around
the roots - just like they
were tomatoes.

people who have worked in
blood collection and service
to military families in
this county," he said,
"there will be all the
personnel of the former
Wake County chapter, both
volunteers and full-time
employees We hope to
bring to the areas of water
safety and first aid the
same success that has
been apparent in blood
collection and veterans'
affairs."
Noell said that he
regards "this consolidation
not as a problem for
our professional and volunteer
groups, but simply as
a new opportunity for
service through the American
Red Croca."
Noel] said that any

the expanded service may
