Aubergines.

Talking of growing different things my son gave me a few Aubergine plants to try- I've never grown them before. This one has 22 fruit on it. I wonder if I ought to take some off to get good quality fruit.

Re: Aubergines.

I have only one fruit on mine Alan but I would agree there seems to be too many on yours, perhaps a light thinning would allow a better crop...are you feeding the plant..?

Re: Aubergines.

Yes Barry, I feed it along with my tomatoes. I have 2 plants and both have lots of fruit on so I think I'll thin one out but leave the other alone and see how they compare.
