There is a current fashion for folks to compare their produce with some coinage. Well, I have succumbed and to set the context we have the burgeoning aubergine with one coin of Her Majesty’s pound sterling.
It is getting there. Ma hopes to make something Indian out of it in approximately one weeks time.
Don’t blame you for showing off your aubergine – it’s a whopper! I still haven’t even got any flowers.
My grown from seed non f1 types are only just starting to form flower buds. And also not as tall as the others
It’s my first successful attempt at growing aubergines, so I’m not sure what to expect. Where do the flowers grow from – near the stem?
They sprout as a stalk from the stem, and send out a buds with lilac petals that grows downward and lengthens as the fruit grows
Okay – so looks like mine are starting to produce flowers now. Thanks for the info.
