Grow an authentic taste of Thailand in your own backyard with Thai Light Green Pea eggplant (Solanum torvum) which goes by the name Noong Ta Klong. Often featured in Southeast Asian cuisine, these tiny, light-green spheres have a pleasantly bitter, earthy flavor that elevates curries, stir-fries, and soups. Each cluster of pea-sized fruits has a crisp bite, adding both texture and a unique zing to your favorite dishes. I saw these pea sized eggplants in the markets while visiting Thailand. 

For best results, start your seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last spring frost date, maintaining soil temperatures around 75–85°F to encourage optimal germination. Once the seedlings are hardened off, transplant them into full sun, spacing plants 2–3 feet apart. Provide rich, well-draining soil and consistent moisture, while avoiding waterlogging. Pick clusters when the fruits are light green and approximately the size of large peas—frequent harvesting stimulates continual fruit production. 

Ideal Growing Conditions

Sun: Full Sun

Water: Allow the soil to dry out a little bit in-between watering

Fertilizer: Add fertilizer into the planting hole at transplant time. Also fertilize once a month with an organic granular fertilizer, like Espoma Garden-Tone to boost growth and production.

When & How To Sow Seeds: I highly recommend you sow seeds indoors so you can control the growing environment better. Sow 3 seeds per 4 inch pot, filled with sterile seed starting mix. Fertilize with a liquid fertilizer once the first set of true leaves appear. It will take 2-3 months for it to reach transplant size. Plant outside after all danger of frost has passed.

Germination: 10-15 days

Days To Maturity: 75 days from transplanting into the garden.

How & When To Harvest: Harvest them when they are still a pale green color and are the size of a pea

Common Diseases: Eggplant can get some powdery mildew, spots, or blight in very wet conditions. Improve airflow by spacing plants 3 FT apart and prune out old, dead, yellowing, or heavily diseased leaves. Spray with 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect.

Common Pests: The most common pests when growing eggplant are aphids and spider mites. Knock aphids off your plants with a strong blast of water from your water hose. Spray with spinosad for severe aphid infestations and if you have spider mites.
