Aubergines 2020 - Veggie - 30-05-2020
[attachment=250]
My first year growing (trying to grow) Aubergines.
I had a mixed packet of seeds - Mediterranean and Asian. 50 seeds and I sowed the lot!
I've potted up 12 and still have 9 in modules whose fate is undecided. None of the neighbours want them - they say insulting things about them instead!
I have no idea what to expect from them (that's the aubergines, not the neighbours!) but, you know me, I like surprises.

Sounds delightful. If I was nearer I'd have some off you. Love to eat aubergines, never grown them successfully , I think I cram too much into the GH and I forget to tend them. Same with peppers. Maybe next year with more undercover room I have another bash. When did you sow them?
RE: Aubergines 2020 - Veggie - 30-05-2020
JJB, I've never grown them successfully either but I had this mixed packet lying around (sow by 2019). I'm hoping that the Asian ones will be easier than the Med ones (smaller and quicker to mature).
Since I don[t know which are which they've all been lumped in together!
Sown 6/3/20.

I can join in
.I’m getting some aubergine plants. Someone on our local gardening fb group has got some for sale £1 each. Can’t argue with that
, and they’re not the other end of the island . Now need to research because after a quick google of the variety name she gave me, I can only find globe artichoke 
. Anyone know anything about Imperial Star aubergine? Normal shape apparently.

Can you ask for a photo of the leaves - just in case they are artichokes (leaves like thistles I think).
Aub leaves are rounded and furry.

They are 100% aubergine plants. I think the variety my have got confused somewhere down the line. Never mind. We can grow mystery aubergines together
Aub leaves are rounded and furry.

After some more googling the closest I can find is imperial black beauty. So I’m still at a loss really, we’ll just have to what till it grows.
