Growing Eggplant, also Aubergine

View the Eggplant page

If you pick eggplant while still green, will they ripen in a warm, sunny spot in the house? I have 3 eggplants on 1 plant that seem to have stopped growing for the last 2 weeks and are not ripening. It's too cold now and they're not getting much sun. Thanks

Pick when they have reached full size, if you wait too long the seeds develop more.
