  1. I am so loving the colors in your harvest. Question about the Fairytale Eggplants. I am unsure as to when to harvest them. How long do you let them get before you harvest?

  2. Mine get to about 4 inches, but keep in mind if yours are growing in ground they'll grow bigger than mine. Color is also a good way to determine when to harvest. If the eggplant looks waxy as opposed to shiny you've probably waited a little too long.
