I recently moved to Florida from New York, now I have always grown eggplant in NY and they have ALWAYS been purple. So I thought I would garden here as well. From the picture on the package I thought I planted purple eggplant seeds. The plants are growing nicely. I get the purple flowers, then the eggplant starts to grow. It starts out that deep purple color then it kinda washes out and gets a little streaked with whitish yellow. Then they turn yellow. They are firm so I know they are not rotten and they seem to be growing very slow. Am I doing something wrong? This is the first time this has happened to me. Maybe it's a Florida thing... I have them in Miracle grow planting soil in garden boxes because the soil here is mostly sand. They don't taste bad maybe a little bitter I guess it's just got me baffled. Why are they turning yellow?

you might want to check the ph balance in that soil, if its lower than what the plant likes it will turn yellow, and this is natural, no need to worry about it.
test the ph...............6.0-7.0   sandy soil ring it with lime..........use gloves
