What is the correct time to pick eggplant. How long can you leave them on the vine after that time.

Unripe eggplants will be a bit greenish inside rather than a clear cream or creamy-white. they probably could still be eaten. I worked at a community garden and a lot were harvested before they were ripe. Sorry I can't answer the other part of your question.

What is the correct time to pick eggplant. How long can you leave them on the vine after that time.
