Any other veg ?


For the second year I'm growing aubergines in large pots but I'm giving them more attention this season and they seem to be better for it. Aubergines are worth up to 18 points as they are quite difficult to grow and so are worth it for entering into the 'Any other veg' class if there is one at your show. I read that whilst they like lots of water they don't like to be sat in it so I plant them on a bit of a mound so that excess water can run off. The pots are on the greenhouse staging and the compost is drenched each day. There are no flowers yet but as soon as there are I shall pollinate with a soft brush to facilitate the process.
