Temperature

It is important to remember that you will only be able to harvest a decent harvest of eggplants if you grow them in a greenhouse.

The fact is that the culture does not like changes and reacts extremely negatively to temperature changes.

Diseases

The third summer month is the peak of activity of various diseases, so the summer resident should be careful. Make sure not to allow the development of fungal diseases.
