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.

PLANTING
Germination: 10-15 days. To speed up germination I recommend using a heat mat.
Seed Sowing Depth: 1/4” deep
Sowing: I highly recommend to start in pots indoors with a heat mat 8-10 weeks before your last spring frost date. If you are gardening in a mild winter climate that does not get snow, you can also sow seeds indoors around July 1st and transplant into the garden at the end of September for fall harvest.
Days to maturity: 75 days from transplanting into the garden

Orders are shipped in 1-3 business days excluding holidays or delays due to natural disasters like hurricanes.
Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
