Planted 4 aubergine plants end April in well manured soil

Providing the summer is reasonably warm, aubergines can be successfully grown outside either in the ground or in pots on a terrace or balcony. Grown like this, aubergines should be ready from mid August onwards - earlier if in a greenhouse. they are easy to grow and need plenty of water.

Early May planted five Aubergine plants bought from a nursery about 18″ apart in the open but under cloches to protect them from any late frosts. Cloches will be removed mid to late May
