How and When to Harvest Eggplants

The last time I posted about my eggplants, they were just tiny cute eggplant seedlings. I planted them together with my tomatoes and they ended up thriving more. I think right now, I have more than 10 pots of eggplant and not only have they started bearing fruits weeks ago, but those that first did have already grown their fruits so much that I already harvested one of them.

So how do you know when your eggplant is ready to be harvested? Here are some guidelines:

Tomato, Eggplant and Okra Seedlings 2nd Month Update

It's been two months since I ventured into making my own vegetable garden. I've only re-potted my tomato, eggplant and okra seeds once and I've been meaning to transplant them again to much bigger pots where they can permanently grow and bear vegetable fruits. Unfortunately, I can no longer eat tomatoes, eggplant and okra because of my GERD and acid reflux but maybe once I'm healed, I can slowly incorporate them in my diet again.

I'll really find time his weekend to re-pot my growing vegetable seedlings. Must jot this down on my short-term goals book. I need to include this little activity and use the power of goal setting.

Anyway, here are photos I took a few minutes ago to show you how big my okra, tomato and eggplants seedlings are now:
