How to Save Seeds
Eggplant is a self pollinator but will cross pollinate so with that in mind ¼ of a mile is sufficient for seed saving purposes. Allow them to remain on vine but off the ground. They will take on an a yellow to brown color before ready for harvesting seeds. Scope seeds out and over a bowl of water. Good seeds will sink bad seeds will float. Save seeds on bottom of bowl and allow them to dry out like the cucumber seeds.
