I've had a quick search and can find lots of threads on overwintering chillies and other capsicums, and lots on how early aubergines need to be sown, but has anyone ever overwintered aubergines?
Despite my complaints in the thread below we actually managed to end up with 4 plants, and got aubergines off them. Then we went on holiday and it actually got warm here in Cheshire, they dried out and died...... But I did notice a couple of bits of green so watered them and they came back to life.... Now 5 months later the Lazarus aubergines are still alive and actually still flowering!

So, has anyone overwintered them before? How long should an aubergine plant last (previously working on them being annual)? What can I expect (early aubergines)?
