Allotments 4 All

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

Depends!

Not much more than 30" - plant size.

only 6" to go then, I might just move them up on to a tressle so that I can see the flowers lol

 :) so jealous mine haven't grown since they went in the black buckits/ shades x

Yep but where did ya get yer buckits from. It's so important that you get em from the right place.lol

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.

the blighters are takin over lol

Those look gooood!!

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 !

;D 8) ;D 8) ;D 8)

Must try that myself! Brilliant idea.....genius.

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

Precocious - but great value!

I love the taste of mohican aubs. Yours look way healthier than mine !  Mind those little spikes when you pick them.  :o

Hmmm, yes I've been caught by them already, ouch! :-\
