Their low seed count is a kitchen advantage: the flesh is uniform and has a pleasant texture when baked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis vigorous variety yields well; the producer reports yields of around 20–40 kg per 10 m² under its growing conditions. Like all eggplants, however, it needs plenty of warmth from sowing to harvest, so in Poland it is best grown in a greenhouse or polytunnel, and outdoors only in the warmest, most sheltered spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (March, under cover):\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow the seeds in a light growing medium in pots or plug trays, about 0.5 cm deep. In a warm room, you can start as early as late February. Eggplant germinates only in warm conditions: it needs a constant temperature of at least 23–24°C, ideally around 25°C. Seedlings emerge after 10–20 days; if the seeds take a long time to germinate, it is worth raising the temperature slightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePricking out:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transplant seedlings with 3–4 true leaves individually into pots 9–10 cm in diameter, keeping them in a warm, bright spot. Water lightly but regularly, and harden off the seedlings before planting them out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePlanting out (after 15–20 May):\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant in a greenhouse or polytunnel after 15 May, and outdoors only after 20 May or in early June, once nights are warm. Space plants about 50–60 cm apart. The soil should be well-drained and rich in humus; adding compost or well-rotted manure before planting is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water regularly, without letting the soil dry out, and try not to wet the leaves. Removing some side shoots and lower leaves improves light exposure to the fruits and encourages a good yield. Harvest fruits as they ripen, cutting them off with a sharp knife along with a piece of the stem; if left on the plant too long, they become bitter. As a precaution, practise crop rotation and ensure good air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fruits are great for \u003cstrong\u003estuffing\u003c\/strong\u003e with meat, grains or vegetables, \u003cstrong\u003ebaking in slices\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003egrilling\u003c\/strong\u003e and making \u003cstrong\u003elayered bakes\u003c\/strong\u003e with tomato sauce and cheese.
