Finally I expect a good yield from these plants.

Eggplant are under the row cover on the left in the 1st photo (broccoli and cauliflower under the row covers behind, which also did very well!). That is a quart mason jar in the 2nd photo for perspective.
They look great! I hope they produce well. Pests are not a problem with eggplants, they just don't grow. I plant them in the same bed as my tomatoes and peppers which usually do quite well. Very puzzling...

What variety are you growing?
