Money maker aubergine I find a very reliable variety. Often get 4 or 5 per plant.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

I haven't found a problem with Califonia wonder last year and this at any rate. Just picked one weighing 250g with a slight tinge of red coming. The slugs must have missed it so picked to ripen in kitchen. I have got a bumper crop coming if I can keep the slugs off.

Another sweet pepper thought.
In the centre of some bought peppers amongst the seed you can find what looks like an embryo pepper. I found one this week which looked like it had a baby root. It is now in some water waiting to be planted. Will it grow a pepper plant?

If it is a seed that has germinated then it will grow into a new plant. If it is pepper fruit flesh then I would very much doubt it but let us know how it progresses.

My first pepper seeds are germinating! I think it's Lipstick (too lazy to go downstairs and recheck the label) - I'm growing that and Sweet Chocolate, both from Real Seeds.
I've never had any luck growing peppers in the past, mostly because my late cat Bertie would eat anything in sight - I had to use a dog cage for raising my sweetcorn or he would munch it down to the ground! This time I'm going to keep them out of the cats' reach, or put them outside if we get a nice enough summer.
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!

The fruitlet rotted, so no joy of propagation. Glad really as I have too many pepper seedlings anyway.
