To effectively harvest eggplant from your garden, wait until the fruit is firm and shiny with a deep color. Use pruning shears or a sharp knife to cut the eggplant from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached. Be gentle to avoid damaging the plant. Store the harvested eggplant in a cool, dry place until ready to use.
