Can anyone grow these things outside and, if so where and how? They
seem to hate any temperature below 25 Celcius, or even the slightest
lack of water. I am really not into mollycoddling adult plants.
This year out outside aubergines have grown really well - they're
against a south facing wall and have had a lot of water and weekly
tomato feed. About 6 to 8 full size from each plant with another 3 or 4
on each now.

Excellent deep fried and, because we cut four for the annual show on
Saturday we made moussaka with our own aubergines.

I don't think they'll do without mollycoddling though.

Regards, Colin
