I know its no where near full grown but I couldnt resist cropping my first aubergine of the season today, I have been looking at it all week with a hunger in my eyes that just overwhelmed mme today.

The packet said it was black beauty but the shape doesnt look right unless they fill out later on.
They were started indoors in february under grow lights and transfered to the greenhouse about 3 weeks ago._____________

What did you do with it? I never really know what to do with aubergines, even being a veggie myself I think of them as a bit of a 'nothing' veggie. How did you cook it? Am interested as I might give them a go next year when the greenhouse is up and running.
Looks from your pic like you are about to eat it like an apple!

not done anything with it yet as I only cut it this lunchtime, but I will be frying it up with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper._____________

Looks like a black tom with an evil glint in its eye - well done - must be the growlights that make all the difference.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Sure you didn't grow a pumpkin under a "black" light Crich? Looks fantastic though, I'm nowhere near cropping anything yet.
Well done though.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

Do you think it's a sign of middle age Chris, being overwhelmed by an aubergine?
Tis a lovely big one you've got there though!
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
