Description
Eggplant Galina F1 can be grown in the garden or in a greenhouse. It also depends on the region. In the south, you can get a good harvest in the garden, but the seedlings are grown in a greenhouse or indoors. In regions of risky farming, greenhouses are used. Eggplant Galina F1 is an early variety. You can get the first fruits already on the 95th day. And on the 105th day, Galina’s eggplant produces a full harvest. Description of the variety and photos indicate that the bush is semi-spreading, strong, and branched. The stem is anthocyanin purple in color. In a greenhouse it grows up to 90 cm, in the garden - up to 70 cm. The leaves are medium in size. The calyx is practically spineless.
The fruits are cylindrical, with a pear-shaped ending, dark purple, “eggplant” in color with a black tint. The weight of one fruit reaches 300-600 g. The length of each fruit is up to 18 cm with a diameter of up to 8 cm. On one bush they can grow up to 15 pieces. The flesh of the eggplant variety Galina is white, without bitterness. There are few seeds and they are small. Therefore, they practically do not interfere with the preparation of eggplant dishes.
Eggplant Galina F1 (photo) is valued because it can be grown in different climatic conditions, it is unpretentious, and does not require special care. Can be stored for a long time in a cool place. The variety is resistant to disease and cold.
Eggplants in purple outfit
Traditionally, in Russian gardens, purple-colored eggplants lead in popularity, and the palm almost throughout the country belongs to two varieties of eggplant.
This is the Black Beauty variety, which attracts the attention of gardeners not only for its unpretentiousness and the ability to grow both in film greenhouses and in open ground, but also for its decent yield and quality of fruit. Dense brown-purple eggplants weighing 200–350 grams do not have a bitter aftertaste, store well and are not susceptible to common diseases of this crop.
Second in the garden popularity ranking is the Almaz eggplant variety, distinguished by its 200-gram fruits of deep purple color. The shape of the fruit is oblong, smooth, the pulp has a pleasant taste without any signs of bitterness.
In addition to these well-known varieties, other varieties are worthy of gardeners’ attention:
- producing a lot of small, oblong fruits, weighing up to 150 grams, the Purple Miracle variety;
- eggplant variety Banana with elongated fruits that can be stored for a long time without loss of quality;
- large-fruited Black Beauty variety with fruits up to 900 grams, bright black and purple color.
Adherents of the traditional pear-shaped form will like the productive Albatross variety, which forms compact bushes from which large, up to 450 grams in weight, blue-violet fruits with dense greenish flesh are harvested.
Round eggplants, which are gaining popularity, are convenient for stuffing, canning and stewing, so varieties and hybrids that produce fruits of this shape are becoming increasingly in demand.
An example of a plant of this type is the Black Moon variety of domestic selection, which produces almost ribbed spherical fruits of a dark purple color with a glossy surface and light green flesh without traces of bitterness. Eggplants weighing from 200 to 350 grams can be harvested within 110–115 days after planting, and the ovary is formed even at low temperatures, and the plant stably bears fruit for a long time.
For cultivation in film and winter greenhouses, you can choose the City F1 eggplant of medium ripening, characterized by high stable yield, excellent taste and transportability of the fruit. The plant is powerful, reaching a height of more than 1.8 meters, and bears large cylindrical fruits weighing up to 0.5 kg.
The eggplant variety Dirigible is in no way inferior in yield, whose fruits weighing up to 120 grams can be harvested 125–135 days after emergence. Due to the dense crown and abundance of foliage, the yield may fall, so plants of this type of eggplant require thinning and removal of excess shoots and leaves.
Productivity of the variety
Hybrid Galina F1 is valued for its high yield. On an area of 1 m2, eggplant grows up to 6-6.5 kg. Fruits set even in unsuitable weather conditions, with temperature fluctuations. This is a very valuable feature that distinguishes the Galina eggplant.
Description of the variety, photos, reviews indicate that from 5 to 8 full-fledged fruits were simultaneously set and ripened on one bush. Their weight can reach half a kilogram. Getting a good harvest is facilitated by the fact that eggplants do not suffer from late blight.
Peculiarity
Perhaps the main feature of eggplant is the creation of a rich harvest, as evidenced by numerous reviews from summer residents.
Yana, 46 years old, Tyumen
Good tasty, but most importantly not bitter fruits - what else can you say about Galina eggplants? The plant itself is unpretentious to growing conditions. In addition, this is a great option when you don’t want to wait a long time for the harvest. The bushes brought a lot of eggplants, and since we all simply adore this healthy vegetable, the joy knew no bounds! Of course, we had to work a little: watering, fertilizing and other necessary procedures. However, this applies to any vegetable crop and the result is almost always positive.
Victor, 56 years old, Kemerovo
My wife and I have been growing eggplants of this particular variety for a long time.
After planting, they looked after the plants like little children: they applied fertilizer and sometimes sprayed them as a precaution. The result was a prolific harvest and no disease even came close.” The fruits ripen 105-110 days after the start of germination
From one square meter of garden plot you can collect approximately 6 or 6.5 kg of ripe eggplants. At the same time, the F1 variety is resistant to many diseases
The fruits ripen 105-110 days after the start of germination. From one square meter of garden plot you can collect approximately 6 or 6.5 kg of ripe eggplants. At the same time, the F1 variety is resistant to many diseases.
The photo below shows what happens if proper care is not taken.
Fruits can form even under unfavorable weather conditions. This means that the eggplant variety is suitable for growing in almost any region of Russia. In addition, the plant takes root well in greenhouse conditions without heating in the spring. Winter greenhouses are best equipped with a heating system.

Growing seedlings
Like all eggplants, the Galina F1 variety is grown from seedlings. It is taken into account that it is demanding of heat and light and loves moisture. Seeds are sown early, in mid-February. Before sowing, they are disinfected with a solution of Fitosporin or other antifungal drugs. One and a half grams of the drug are diluted in a liter of water and the seeds are placed for 2 hours. Users advise using the same brand of paste. Then the seeds are soaked for 18 hours in the Epin solution. For 100 ml of water you will need 4 drops of the drug.
The seeds are sent for germination. This can be done using peat tablets if the number of seeds is small. You can use hydrogel. The advantage of using it is that the roots are not damaged during such germination. The seeds themselves receive optimal conditions for germination; they do not dry out or become waterlogged. Seeds germinate at a temperature of about 27 degrees. After the seeds have sprouted, they are planted in prepared bags with soil mixture. One seed treated with Zircon solution is placed in each and sprinkled with soil up to 2 cm thick. In order for the sprouts to shed their seed shells, the soil in the bag is compacted from above.
The temperature in the room where eggplants are grown should be about 24 degrees. Shoots appear on the 10th day. The temperature is reduced for a week to 16 degrees, then raised again to 24. At night the room should be cooler so that the plants do not stretch upward. It is advisable to extend the daylight hours for seedlings to 14 hours. For this purpose, special phytolamps or fluorescent lamps are used. It is necessary to water moderately so that the seedlings do not disappear from fungal diseases; “black leg” is considered one of the most dangerous.
When the seedlings have formed a second true leaf, they are picked. This contributes to the formation of strong seedlings. It is planted in the greenhouse in mid-May. The time of planting in open ground depends on the growing region. By this time, the threat of return frosts should have passed.
Feed the seedlings with the Uniflor-rost solution. Add 1 teaspoon of product to 5 liters of water. When the seedling has formed its third true leaf, it is treated with Extrasol solution, in the 7-leaf phase with Epin.
Eggplant Galine F1: variety description, photo
Eggplant Galine category f1 is characterized by high yields and attractive appearance. At the end of 2002, this variety was included in the State Register of the Russian Federation. Suitable for cultivation in the central and southern regions of the country.
Description of eggplant Galine
general information
The Galina eggplant variety of category f1 has an early ripening period - 110 days from the moment the seeds germinate.
The description indicates that the eggplant bushes are powerful, up to 60 cm in height. The crown is semi-spreading. The leaf blade is smooth and rich green in color. The fruits are long, the weight of an individual fruit is 200-300 g. The color is dark purple. Productivity is high: up to 2.5 kg per bush.
Application
The description of the pulp indicates its creamy color and high density. There is no bitterness in the taste, so the products are used for cooking without first soaking in salt.
Fruits of the Galine variety, category f1, are suitable for preservation. Thanks to their piquant taste, they make delicious salads and pickles.
The principle of proper cultivation
This crop is grown in open ground. First, I plant the seeds in a container to obtain seedlings.
The seed planting process takes place in mid-March. To do this, the planting material must be treated with a manganese solution (5 g per 10 liters of water) and left in water for 20 minutes. Once the empty seeds float to the top, they are not used for planting. The remaining suitable seeds are wrapped in gauze and placed in the freezer for 2-3 hours for hardening.
It is worth pouring 2/3 of the nutrient substrate into the planting container. Small holes are made in it, up to 1 cm deep. Seeds are planted inside and covered tightly with earth. The container is placed in a warm room.
During the day, the seeds are kept at a temperature of 24-27°C, and at night they reduce it to 17°C. This difference speeds up the emergence of seedlings, and the seedlings will be more resistant to frost. After the first shoots, you should move the container to the windowsill.
As soon as 2 pairs of leaves are formed on the seedlings, they begin the procedure of planting in a permanent place.
The areas you will use for permanent growing sites should be fertile and protected from wind and drafts. Low soil acidity is required (no more than 4%).
Treat the soil with a lime solution (2 kg of the product per 1 m2). The crop is transplanted to a permanent location at the end of April or beginning of May, when the soil warms up to a temperature of 10-13°C.
When planting, adhere to the 50x50 cm pattern. The planting depth should be 1-2 cm.
Care measures
Fertilizing is carried out strictly at the root
It is worth watering the bushes of this variety as the soil dries out.
The optimal watering interval is 7-10 days, during which the soil is moistened to a depth of 10 cm. After watering, the soil is loosened and weeds are removed to reduce the risk of pests and diseases.
Feeding is carried out as needed. If the flowering period is delayed, then it is worth feeding the bush with a solution of potassium nitrate (30 g per 10 liters of water). In case of poor fruiting, use a solution of superphosphate (50 g per 10 l of water) or ammonium nitrate (20 g per 10 l of water). Keep in mind that nutrient mixtures should not fall on the trunk or leaf plate of the bush.
Due to the high growth of the bush, the crop needs a garter. Formation of the plant consists of removing the side and lower shoots.
Pest and disease control
- Diseases often include root rot, late blight and moniliosis. A solution of colloidal salt (20 g per 10 liters of water) will be an effective remedy against late blight. The drug Zircon (30 g per 10 liters of water) will help get rid of moniliosis. Using these products, spraying is carried out at intervals of 10 days. It is impossible to cure a crop from root rot. You will have to completely remove the bush. As a preventive measure, the process of watering and loosening the soil is normalized.
- Aphids and midges are the main pests of the plant. A solution of copper-containing drug Oxychom (40 g per 10 liters of water) will help in the fight against aphids. Treatment against midges consists of spraying with a solution of Bordeaux mixture (8 g per 10 liters of water).

Conclusion
Growing eggplants of the Galine variety is not difficult if you follow the above recommendations
The main requirement for a gardener is that he must pay attention to all changes in the appearance of the bush and, at the slightest danger of a disease or pest, immediately deal with them
Planting seedlings
You should not plant Galina eggplants after tobacco and nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes). Gardeners advise growing them in such a plot only after 4 years. Eggplants do not like acidic and dense soils.
How to plant Galina F1 eggplants correctly? Reviews from gardeners indicate that before planting seedlings, the plants are watered so that the entire soil lump is moistened. Then they cut the bag on the side in order to disturb the root system of the plant as little as possible. Straighten the bottom, where many roots are located. Place it in a pre-prepared hole. A teaspoon of superphosphate is also added there. Watered. Mulch the soil under the eggplants.
If eggplants are replanted without a clod of soil, their root system may be disrupted. Plants will be stunted. To improve their condition, you can feed them with Kornevin.
Some users recommend adding several hydrogel crystals, for example, Teraveta, to the holes for planting eggplant Galina F1.
Growing eggplant in open ground
Eggplant is more heat-loving than pepper. The growing place should be well lit and warmed by the sun, protected from cold winds.
If there is no natural wind protection, you need to make wing strips. Reliable protection from winds of various directions are strip sowing of peas and beans. Between the scenes a favorable microclimate is created for growing plants.
The best predecessors of eggplant: peas, beans, beans, cucumber, cabbage, table root vegetables.
Eggplants can be grown on heavy soils by making ridges and adding 1 bucket of peat and humus per 1 m2. It is also very useful to add coarse river sand, straw cuttings or sawdust. All this will make the soil lighter.
High doses of organic fertilizers (2–6 kg/m) in the form of compost or humus are the main condition for successful cultivation of eggplant in open ground.
Eggplant is responsive to phosphorus-potassium nutrition throughout the entire growing period. Therefore, when cultivating the soil, it is necessary to add 300–500 grams of ash or 50–100 grams of superphosphate and potassium salt per 1 m2.
Soil for eggplants
The soil for eggplant must be prepared in the fall. You need to dig with a shovel full, carefully removing the roots and rhizomes of perennial weeds. Fresh manure is applied in the fall, and rotted manure in the spring. Peat, straw cuttings and sawdust are also best applied during autumn tillage.
In early spring, as soon as the soil dries slightly, it is loosened with a rake. Spring tillage begins when the soil warms up well. When digging, weed residues are removed, pest larvae and caterpillars are manually selected, and organic and mineral fertilizers are applied. Then the soil is leveled with a rake.
Since spring digging of the soil is carried out at the end of April or beginning of May, the area is loosened several times before planting the seedlings. Loosening is best done after rain to retain moisture in the soil. In addition, loosening is also necessary as a means of weed control.
Seedlings are planted in open ground when the danger of frost has passed: late May - early June. The technique for planting eggplant seedlings is the same as for peppers, the distance between plants is 30–40 cm, between rows - 60 cm.
Caring for eggplants in open ground
Caring for eggplants involves regularly loosening the rows, watering, fertilizing, and controlling weeds, pests and diseases.
After rain or watering, loosen the soil as soon as it dries slightly and forms a light crust. When loosening, weeds are also destroyed.
The soil should be sufficiently moist. It is necessary to water systematically, not allowing it to dry out. Water for irrigation must be heated in the sun so that the water temperature is not lower than +20 °C.
The first feeding of eggplants is carried out 10–15 days after planting the seedlings with slurry, bird droppings or a solution of mineral fertilizers. For 10 liters of water take 40–50 grams of superphosphate, 10 grams of ammonium nitrate or 30 grams of urea, 15–20 grams of potassium salt. When feeding with bird droppings, add 200 grams of ash per 10 liters of solution.
The second feeding is necessary 20 days after the first, and the doses of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are increased by 1.5–2 times.
The third feeding is at the beginning of fruiting. For 10 liters of water take 60–80 grams of urea, superphosphate and 20 grams of potassium chloride. 10 liters of solution are consumed per 5 m2 of planting. After each feeding, plants should be watered with clean water to avoid burns from fertilizers.
Eggplant care
Galina F1 eggplant requires special care and attention. Features of cultivation:
- Water eggplants only with warm water. When watering cold, the plant gets stressed and may get sick.
- Gardeners often complain that the lower leaves of eggplants turn yellow. This can happen after the plant is transplanted into a greenhouse or open ground.
- The leaves are turning yellow.
If you properly care for the plants, after a while their condition will return to normal. If only the edges of all the leaves turn yellow, and they themselves curl upward, this means that the plant lacks potassium. Fertilizers need to be applied.
If eggplant leaves curl, this can be caused by several reasons:
- Low light.
- Excess moisture.
- Pest damage.
While the first two reasons are easy to eliminate, pests sometimes go unnoticed for a long time.
Diseases and pests
The main diseases that can affect Galina F1 eggplant are gray rot, tobacco mosaic, and black leg. The most dangerous is tobacco mosaic. This is a viral disease. The leaves lighten, then become covered with mosaic spots. Leaves often change shape. For prevention, treat the seeds with a solution of hydrochloric acid for half an hour, then wash them with running water. Consumer reviews advise spraying plants with skim milk and laundry soap every 10 days.
What pests damage Galina F1 eggplants the most? Reviews from gardeners say that it is the Colorado potato beetle, spider mites, aphids, and slugs. The Colorado potato beetle and its larvae can destroy an eggplant plantation in a couple of days. Experts say that without special processing it will not be possible to obtain a high yield. Before planting, soak the roots of the plant in Aktara solution (a bag of 2 liters of water) for 2 hours. This treatment will allow you not to use chemical protection until the fall. If treatment is necessary, you can use Actofit. His waiting period is minimal, only 2 days.
Eggplants in the greenhouse are affected by spider mites. They can be found on the underside of the leaf. They feed on the sap of the plant, so it may die if they are not dealt with in time. Sometimes spider mites are found in a greenhouse.
Aphids mainly attack young parts of the plant. To avoid infection, you need to ventilate the greenhouse well. Treat with insecticide before flowering.
Greenhouse whitefly larvae, which feed on plant sap, are collected from the underside of the leaf. If you wash them off with water, they will die.
Slugs harm eggplants. They damage fruits and plant parts. The areas between plants are treated with slaked lime.
Mole crickets that live in the ground and feed on plant roots. They can damage the stem of the eggplant, which leads to its death.

Eggplant, or as it is called in the East, badridzhan, is a perennial plant of the nightshade family, with wide, oval leaves, a deeply penetrating root system and fruits of a wide variety of shapes and colors.
The “blue” ones we are used to have an oblong shape and a deep purple, almost black color. But in recent years, on the market you can find yellow, green, lilac, white eggplant seeds, round, pear-shaped, egg-shaped, from “baby” sizes to real giants.
Eggplant is a very light-loving crop, so choose a site for its cultivation that is open to sunlight, with well-fertilized, heavy soil rich in nitrogen and calcium.
If the soil on your site does not meet the requirements, eggplants must be fed regularly.
At the beginning of growth and development, they are fed with nitrogen, to increase green mass, and during flowering and fruit set - with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers.
A lack of potassium is indicated by brownish-brown spots on fruits and leaves and inhibition of bush development. If the soil is low in nitrogen, the bush grows poorly, the leaves become small and limp. In addition to the above, eggplant does not like sudden temperature fluctuations and is very jealous of heat.
Eggplant seeds germinate at temperatures not lower than 23 degrees, and for normal growth and development 25-30 degrees are required. If during the flowering or budding period the temperature drops to 18-20 degrees, the plant will shed all its flowers. The same thing happens when temperatures are too high, accompanied by drought.
Eggplant prefers regular, abundant watering; the soil around fruiting plants should always be slightly moist. If possible, it is better to shade bushes in strong sunshine with mown grass or netting. Beds with young plants need periodic weeding and loosening so that weeds do not steal precious nutrients and moisture from them.
Mature plants, with their powerful root system and wide leaves, are not afraid of uninvited neighbors.
It is strictly not recommended to plant eggplant seeds in the area where their “relatives” grew before - tomatoes, physalis, peppers, since they have the same diseases and natural enemies, which often overwinter in the soil on plant debris. The best predecessors for it are cucumber, legumes, early cabbage, and green manure herbs.
