Though usually considered a vegetable, botanists classify eggplant as a berry. Early varieties of eggplant were named for their resemblance to large white eggs; in Europe, eggplant is usually referred to as aubergine. In medieval times eggplant were called mad apples, because they were thought to induce insanity. Experimental horticulturist Thomas Jefferson included varieties of eggplant in his gardens; at the time, growers used eggplant mostly for decorative purposes. Regions of southern and eastern Asia especially appreciate the eggplant, naming it \"king of vegetables\" and making it a staple of their cuisine. In addition to the traditional purple pear-shape of Black Beauty, eggplant comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Black Beauty is one of the earliest and best known American varieties of eggplant, dating from the early 1900s.\u003cbr\u003eWhen to sow outside:\u003cbr\u003e 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperatures are warm and when outside nighttime temperatures are at least \u003cbr\u003e55°F.\u003cbr\u003eWhen to start inside: \u003cbr\u003eRECOMMENDED. 10 to 12 weeks before average last frost.

Though usually considered a vegetable, botanists classify eggplant as a berry. Early varieties of eggplant were named for their resemblance to large white eggs; in Europe, eggplant is usually referred to as aubergine. In medieval times eggplant were called mad apples, because they were thought to induce insanity. Experimental horticulturist Thomas Jefferson included varieties of eggplant in his gardens; at the time, growers used eggplant mostly for decorative purposes. Regions of southern and eastern Asia especially appreciate the eggplant, naming it \"king of vegetables\" and making it a staple of their cuisine. In addition to the traditional purple pear-shape of Black Beauty, eggplant comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Black Beauty is one of the earliest and best known American varieties of eggplant, dating from the early 1900s.\u003cbr\u003eWhen to sow outside:\u003cbr\u003e 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperatures are warm and when outside nighttime temperatures are at least \u003cbr\u003e55°F.\u003cbr\u003eWhen to start inside: \u003cbr\u003eRECOMMENDED. 10 to 12 weeks before average last frost.
