Shoot me for announcing this but I've just sown aubergines with strawberry, chilli and hopefully sweet peppers before I go to bed .
According to Nicky's Seed site, it says you can grow from January onwards . It also says something about soaking the aubergine seeds in warm water 24hrs prior to sowing to aid germination. I didn't do this but I can always retrieve the seeds as they're hardly buried, just lightly covered. Does anyone bother with seed soaking for aubergine?
The aubergine varieties I've sown are Diamond, Ichiban, Ping Tung each but leave out the Stripy Egg Plant a little later as they're smaller fruits so don't feel the need to hurry. I intend to grow them outside under cover with some form of heating that I will think up when the time comes. Depends on how the germination goes, I may sow another batch in mid February.
Has anyone grown Aubergine (Thai Green Pea)? Just seen them in Nicky's seeds. Reckon they have even better chance as they're almost the size of peas (hmmm...nice in Thai Green Curry).
