Aubergines

[crichmond]

What did your hydroponic aubs taste like btw - all water?

Ah well, they tasted great but then I started them in the hydro system but planted them on into the autopot system in the greenhouse at the allotment (in soil) the autopot system is just an automatic watering system that uses a float valve to keep the plant watered.

S'good to hear. What varieties are you growing this year btw, I've got a couple of your thai round purple ones growing nicely.

Just put 5 of each Rosa Bianca, Fairy Tale and Black Beauty into the propagator, I am sure I have some other type just have to find where I put the packets.
I will have to put the spare greenhouse up so I have somewhere to put them as I have about 70 chili plants and about 60 toms and 12 cucs.

I surely cant be the only Grape thinking how pretty the aubergine plants are during this growth time? The leaves are a really nice green and they almost seem to grow while you watch.... Its just me isnt it.....
