Weather extremes push late eggplants straight to seeding
Original: Late season eggplant fruit went straight to making seed because of the weather extremes of late. # gardening # Zone10b
A gardener in USDA zone 10b reports that late-season eggplant fruit skipped normal ripening and went straight to producing seed, which they attribute to recent extreme weather swings. The observation highlights how heat and temperature instability can trigger plants to rush reproduction instead of developing edible fruit, a common concern among home growers as climate patterns grow less predictable.
Why now: Gardeners are comparing notes on how this season's extreme weather is affecting their vegetable harvests.
