The Casper eggplant heirloom variety originated in France. Casper Brinjal (Solanum melongena) is a 5–6 inch long with ivory-white skin. Its mild yet meaty white flesh is succulent with a mushroom-like flavor, silky texture, and it’s far less bitter than others. The eggplant if harvested young, does not need peeling. The very productive, medium-sized plants actually seem to prefer cooler conditions, making it an exemplary choice for short-season gardeners and often bearing fruit clear up until frost.
Growing Casper Eggplant
- Eggplants are native to warm regions and need consistent warmth to set fruit. In most regions, the plants will need to be started indoors 7 to 8 weeks before the last frost.
- Sow Casper Eggplant Seeds in 2-inch pots, ¼ inch deep in good seed starter mix. Keep them evenly moist in a sunny location protected from harsh rays.
- Harden off the plants before installing them in a sunny location of the garden.
- Once they begin to fruit, the plants will need a little bit of extra water, but allow the soil surface to dry to the touch in between irrigation.
- Pick fruit 70 days after sowing seed, when they are about 5 to 6 inches long.
