Aubergines 2021

Thai Green Pea Aubergines
Sown 27th Feb
Germinated 25th April
Potted on 25th May
And again 3rd September.
The best one has five leaves ...

It pays off to wait - these aubrgine plants were my entry in the Best Failure category, 2020.

I kept them in the house over winter, but all but one died. The survivor was planted out in May and has turned into the most stunning plant! 

 

I love these leaves worthy of any exotic foliage garden and it has loads of tiny green aubergines. I now just have to find out when they're ready to harvest.

None of the seeds germinated this year!

Edited to add picked first Long Purple yesterday.

We finally started picking the Thai aubergines - when green, they were intolerably bitter so we left them to go orange, but they were still utterly foul! Beautiful plant, but not worth it.
