Pictures of eggplants growing in Earthbox 5.

Some flea beatle damage on these, although the plants are vigorous enough to shake off the effects.

Plants are vigorously growing and healthy, with the exception of the Japanese White Egg, which suffered stem damage this morning from wind, or insects, or perhaps a fungal weakness in the stem. One drawback of using earthboxes is that the soil/mix is always wet and may harbor damping off fungus.
