How to use this guidance
Where does the eggplant guidance for Manila come from?
The published recommendations are from Philippine Department of Agriculture (Philippines — national reference). Check the geographic scope and conditions beside each citation.
Are these exact dates for my garden?
No. These are regional recommendations at the precision used by the source. Weather, elevation, cultivar and growing conditions still matter. A missing window means we have not verified a source, not that growing is impossible.
Which planting and harvest periods are published?
Planting period: All year. Philippine Department of Agriculture; Philippines — national reference.
