I bought 2 Black Magic Eggplants and placed them in a raised bed two weeks ago. They have gone downhill slowly since I planted them. I live in zone 7b . At fist I attributed it to planting shock. and thought they would come back. We've had rains (2.75" ) in the last four days. I checked on them and other things in my raised beds today. The leaves look burned around the edges and they each dropped a leaf entirely .Weather here has been 50 degrees in the daytime and dipped to upper 30's at night. They're not going to make it.
What is the suggested planting date for these and other eggplants ? Did I plant too early? Some of my tomatoes, squash and Jalapeños seem to be set back also.
