Aubergines are worth growing for their flowers!

My leaves are more hand size - unless you have a small head.

I’ve got a flower bud on one of mine. The other one that was felled by voles is making a comeback.

I have one plant going mad, another doing ok and the third teeny ... My Aubergines are like the 3 Bears basically

Picked the first aubergines today - the plants were grown by a friend and are way ahead of my own. Embarrassing as she's a newbie I was helping last year

I think it'll be a while before I can pick aubs but they are making an appearance now.

Sadly the voles got my Listada di Gandia after just a single fruit - I've been trying to keep it going for a week with buckets of water but it eventually had so little stem and root left it just fell over 
But both Clara
and Caspar
are starting to fruit.
Both varieties are new to me (the plants were grown by a friend), so we shall see what the flavour is like
