Does anyone have any tips for growing aubergines
successfully outdoors.I have a fairly warm,but dry
limestone slope in Herefordshire,and grow my plants
in a greenhouse before planting out in June.Although
I did in lots of compost and water well initially and
then every fortnight,I never seem to get more than
about 20 small fruits from about 30 plants.I have been
growing the variety Black Enorma,and will try
Moneymaker next year

My wife grew some excellent plants/fruit outside in large pots many years
ago.
I remember large water trays and watering daily, with lots of feed too, and
it was a very sunny summer and they were in a sunny spot.
A polytunnel may help! :-)
