Stainless,
Having sunlight until the mid afternoon should be enough to grow your eggplants. They like the warmer weather. I don't usually plant my eggplants until the temps are consistently in the 60's. I've found that eggplants will recover from the cold temps but it sometimes will slow the growth, and sometimes will lower the yield. Eggplant like to grow in moist soil, not soggy. Set plants at the same depth at which they are growing in their containers or pots. Fertilize every couple of weeks and you should be fine. If I can grow them, I'm sure that you you'll do a fine job with them.
