Keep potting on gradually till the capsicums are in 8-10" pots and the
aubergines in 10-12". Support well when fruit appears, as they'll fall
over otherwise! Feed when the fruit starts to grow. You could put
outside but they'll like it better inside, though watch carefully for
red spider mite. They adore aubergines and will reduce the leaves to
papery-dry brown remnants.


Very helpful, thanks.

I'll get off my knees and start re-potting now. They're in 5" ones atm.
