They may be the same family but aubergines and potatoes need rather different growing conditions. I can't see this working, but who am I to question T&M! I've never managed to grow an edible aubergine anyway.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard Nimoy

Goodluck if anyone tries this, i can´t see it myself. Aubergines in the UK need greenhouse and i would love to know if anyone grows potatoes in the greenhouse.I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them

I grow potatoes in the polytunnel, but tends to be for a christmas crop, so the wrong time for Aubergines.
Just because it's possible to graft two plants together, doesn't mean it's a good idea.Last edited by skeggijon; 24-12-2015, 01:55 PM.What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter?

I saw Tomtato® plants in a garden centre in Slovakia last spring, so I wonder how long it will take for these to arrive here. They would probably grow better in a Slovak garden than a British one, because our summers are hotter. But I don't think the "eggs and chips" joke will translate very well. Actually it's not a great joke in English either because eggplant is more of an American name, but chips in America are crisps.
