Do aubergines tolerate planting deep if they get leggy, like tomatoes do?
RE: Aubergines 2021 - PyreneesPlot - 14-01-2021
I've never found them to get leggy, they are more shrublike and can become pretty big, woody and solid!
I've never planted them deep so I'm not sure, but I have earthed them up when the voles have been eating the roots and they've put out new higher roots, so I guess that's much the same.

My one seedling has stretched while in the airing cupboard waiting for it friend to join him. I was thinking of transplanting him and putting his brother in the warm again. I'll give it a go and plant him deep. Thanks PP

The Turkish Orange started to germinate today, as usual the first to appear (sown 14/1/21), but it looks like there may be an Italian Long Purple trying to come through as well.

Last year's mixed plants were pretty but I didn't eat any!!
I also love aubergine. Tried a few times and never had any luck - but I'm going to give it another go.
RE: Aubergines 2021 - JJB - 21-01-2021
I have one single Black Beauty and one single Long Purple under the lights, looking ok but very baby. I sowed some Viserba 3 (freebie seeds) which haven't popped yet. I would like to grow some different coloured ones but haven't got the seeds nor the space, maybe next year.

My Kermit haven’t germinated yet. But it’s only been 6 days. They will appear when they’re ready.
RE: Aubergines 2021 - Veggie - 21-01-2021
I haven't sown Kermit yet. Better check I haven't given them all away.
RE: Aubergines 2021 - Small chilli - 21-01-2021
I can send you some back. I’ve not sow all of them

RE: Aubergines 2021 - Veggie - 21-01-2021
You're fine - I have 4 more packets.
I bought several of the Chiltern Bargain basement Veg seed collections last year and Kermit was in all of them! They either had loads or nobody fancied growing a frog!
