How tall do aubergines grow. I am growing Diamond and they are flowering at the moment. They are about 2 ft. The flowers are really lovely but you have to get down on yer knees to see em. Still no flowers on the peppers though

I have given up on my 4 plants. 3 of them seem to have been attacked and the growth isnt very good. They need more heat.

Haven't grown aubs before this year but now I'm trying mini aubergines - Calliope and Little finger - anyone know what height they should get to? Planning to move the largest seedlings (still only about 8") out of the cold frame into the garden - is this too soon?

My aubergines look a bit sad. Have been growing them on the windowsill and they have an infestation of greenfly which I have now hoovered up with a small hand vac meant for cleaning computers. Only had success with aubergines a couple of years ago wtih Red Egg aubergine. Sowed seed for OH to take to the office and they are apparently looking much better than mine.

i've got 4 calliope and 4 black beauty. the calliope's have now almost caught up in size to the BBs (now about 2.5' tall).
absolutely loads of blooms on both, no fruit set yet but only lost a couple of blooms dropped off so i live in hope. just need heat !

'Mohican' aubergines yesterday, the 'Red Egg' is next to them, lovely purple flowers, but terrible pollination compared to the others.....
