How often do you water eggplant?
It depends on where you are ! If you are in the midwest, nature will take care of things. Most farmers in the mid west do not irrigate, rainfall is adequate. Vegetables grown in their native land are usually resistant to normal weather patterns in their environment.
Growing vegetables where they aren't naturally found, means just keeping an eye on them and watering when there has been no rain. Some vegetables need more water than others. ( I avoid growing celery and cucumbers, since they require more water than most, when I am in Colorado. But in the mid west, they grow just fine. )
In any event . . . If it hasn't rained in a week, I will water my garden for about 90 minutes. ( This also depends on the water flow and the kind of sprinkling system you have. ) Poke your finger in the soil after watering. If the ground is dry 1/2 an inch below the surface, you need to water more. If it puddles between rows, chances are you need to cultivate ( stir up the soil ) so that air and water can get to the roots easier.
There are a lot of factors . . . it SOUNDS complicated, but once you get the feel of it, you will be a pro in no time at all.
If the plants are wilty looking .. . Water them !
Also . . . avoid watering in the heat of the day ( 10 to 4 o'clock ). Morning watering be best, or early evening.
Good luck !

A porcupine is an animal that doesn't eat eggplant and tomatoes. A porcupine is a mammal that has sharp quills up and down its back. And no, it does not shoot its quills; it just raises the quills and backs up into the face of whatever is threatening it. There are two types of porcupines: an Old World porcupine and a New World porcupine. AnOld World porcupineis the one with HUGE, dark brown quills on its back, a New World porcupine is a spiny animal and it looks rather strange. Kind of like a hedgehog except with a bigger nose.:)

Why eggplant will not produce eggplant from flower?
If your tomato plants are not producing anything (except blossoms), you might have a pollination problem, or you might have planted seeds from a store-bought tomato that have been cross-pollinated and are more or less sterile. This presumes that they are blossoming but are not producing fruit.
If, on the other hand, your tomato plants are producing fruit but are performing poorly, they are underfed, underwatered or you have not pruned them properly. Make sure you feed them a good general purpose fertilizer two or three times after the plants have developed, and most importantly, prune them heavily!!! You must remove all the leafing branches except for the top three or four at all times during the growth of the plant or you will grow nothing but leaves and a few underdeveloped puny tomatoes.
This means that you will be removing branches or suckers or both every day throughout the growing season. Do not remove the producing growths, just the leafy branches. And please note this does not apply to Tiny Tims and other dwarfed plants as they grow so branchy they are nearly impossible to prune; these plants will produce hundreds of tiny tomatoes without any pruning whatsoever.

How long do you soak eggplant?
If your eggplant does not absorb enough sauce or oil (or water, which I've never done), the flesh can be like styrofoam and the skin can be very chewy. Eggplant is a very absorbent vegetable. When I saute eggplant for example, it soaks up a TON of olive oil. Which is great! Because then I mix that into some pasta and bake it and it has fabulous flavor and texture.
Are eggplants fruit or vegetables?
Eggplant is most definitely a fruit. It is the swollen ovary of the flower and contains the seeds of the plant for reproduction.
