Saving seed
Seed saving for Thai Long Green Select several healthy, true-to-type plants so the saved lot represents the variety rather than one unusually early or large individual. Eggplant is largely self-pollinating but insects can move pollen between varieties. Isolate or bag blossoms when varietal purity matters. Leave marked fruit on healthy plants well beyond eating stage until the skin changes to a dull mature color and seed is hard. Chop or crush the overripe fruit in water, separate heavy seed from pulp and light seed, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Use gloves if skin is sensitive, and record plant selection, isolation, fruit maturity, cleaning, and test date.
