Although eggplant seeds are tiny, sow the seeds about One Fourth inch deep with good quality potting soil in flats or cell containers.

1 Answers
Eggplant distance in the garden should be 18-30 inches apart. Two feet apart is fine, although 2 ½ feet apart will keep you from accidentally breaking branches as you are harvesting your eggplant fruits. If you are planting lots of eggplant and need rows, leave an area 30-36 inches between the rows.
