  • Aubergine thinning help

    I am umming and arring again I have a couple of sufmata rosa aub. plants and for once they look promising. However, they look possibly a bit to promising (sorry it is not the best pic. )



    Should I thin out the fruits? Thankfully I have two plants so worse case scenario will be an experiment and thin one and see.

    Thank you as always

    I'd thin them before they start dropping fruit.....an expert may be along later though lol

      I would jump up and down whooping and popping champagne corks like I'd just won the lottery.

        ^^^ I don't want to jinx it and have them all drop off (but yes I am secretly rather pleased )

          I've just got flowers opening on mine - I'm gonna get the paintbrush out as they're buried under massive leaves so the bees will never find them!

          Yours look fab!

            ^^^Vix I was led to believe they are wind pollinated so just give them a little shake when you walk past. (I could be wrong but thought I read it last year from another grape)

                      I thin peppers, I find that if they set too many at once they tend to drop them later anyway.

                          There are lots of reasons to thin. In regards to chilli I get away with thinning as I pick before they are ripe. I have on occasion had to sort of thin toms as I have had odd ones go funny. Also aubs get a lot bigger

                            NFG, keep picking baby aubs and add them to curries and stews

                            I pick chillis green all at different stages. and same with toms and potatos.

                              Wow! That's an aubergine success. Where did you get the seed from?
