Re: Transplanting Eggplants

  Well First of all I am transplanting the plants when they have 2- 4 true
leaves (is this too early?)
  After transplanting them They are stunned, no growth is noticed, leaves
are still green, but after about 3-4 weeks the leaves start looking (as you
mentioned) like Swiss cheese, with little holes in them (probably from flea
beetles -I think that is what they are called-)
  My concern is why are they being stunned for so long? I am germinating the
seeds in these moss pots, so I do not have to disturbed the roots so much.
The only time I had a crop with eggplants is when I direct seeded them in
mid June, but the crop I got for the White eggplants were really bitter,
whether they were picked small or large (they were supposed to be a sweet
variety) any ideas about that?
  I have Peppers, tomatoes that are growing fine. But they all take a white
about 3 weeks until they recover from the transplanting even with the moss
pots.
