Some of the plants, especially the Orient Express are looking a bit scorched suddenly.  A few yellow leaves and rolled leaves. I watered them with epsom salts and they seem happier again.  I suspect they would like more compost mulching to sustain growth and production.
Can you post the recipe on the Szechwan eggplant on the recipe thread, Turan?  Also, how do you use the epsom salt/water?  Ratio?  How often?

I just posted a recipe of sorts, I hope you like it.

Epsom salts are usually used as a foliar spray at 1 tablespoon per gallon of water.  I used it because I had a hunch that there was an imbalance affecting water movement and I know my soil is high in calcium and that often then makes the plants feel magnesium deficient.  I did this once June and now.  I have heard of people doing this regularly, but I do not know why.  That doesn't mean you should use it.

I gather that eggplant is a heavy feeder.  So, having just harvested a fair bunch I suspect it can use boost of some kind.  I am uneasy about nitrogen rich like fish emulsion, because I want flowers and fruits, not a lot of leaves.  But the plants are blooming heavily, so maybe a little nitrogen won't hurt.  

I do not understand eggplant growing much, I am flailing around trying stuff.
