Ha. Same here Xspye! I last grew aubergines about 20 years ago and decided I didn't have the time to faff so I tried to get plants. Couldn't, so I bought seed. I sowed them last Thursday on the kitchen sill and because I thought they'd be iffy at germinating I sowed a dozen, 6 in each of 2 pots. I've got 8 up already! If it's a good summer I'll try them outdoors in pots and in any spaces in the veg plot but I really only wanted a couple of plants. It's a feast or a famine, this gardening lark!
Believe it or not, the packet said 'in normal growing conditions, enough for 150 plants'
Who, except a market gardener, needs that many?
