Eggplant will do well if started in a small pot, allowed to grow for around 3-4 weeks and then transplanted to the garden. Cutworms are the worst here and nematodes that attack the roots/stems of young seedlings. This helps a lot when dealing with the bugs, watering and fungus. If you have chickens you can teach them to eat the snails. it looks like we will have about 6 pineapples next month. Whenever we eat a pineapple, we plant the stem. The tree is barely 4 years old and we are regularly giving fruit away. Soursop (Guanabana) has quickly become one of our favorites. if you have a place where they can take over. if you plant a lemon tree, also plant a Miracle Berry bush.

Lacinato Kale is growing nice and strong, and so are the lemon cucumbers. I hate the fire ants that live in the trees tho. on the other hand there is always plenty of fruit.
so sometimes they are too tight together and crowd each other out. again, we just kind of let them grow where they want. now tomatoes grow like weeds all over the place. We had some Cherry and Grape tomatoes long time ago and I didn't keep up with them or kept them neat. I am happy to answer and specific questions you have. We also have an edible food forest with everything from bananas, papayas, jaboticabas, lychee, longan, Chico, white pineapple, apples, peaches, and literally hundreds of other things. You can contact them to locate the nearest office to you. That might be something of interest to you. I am signed up for the 2015 master gardeners program here. They can test your soil, have master gardeners to answer any questions, offer printed information, sell inexpensive seeds for your area and more.

Also a fantastic free resource that is available in every county is the Agricultural Extension Office. This can help a lot with what to plant when here in Hawaii.
