We recently acquired a second greenhouse and my wife has suggested we try
growing aubergines. We know nothing at all about this. I have sown some in
pots and one or two have just about appeared. What do we do? How big do you
think the plants should be before being planted out of their pots? Are they
very frost susceptible? Assuming they do develop, do they like water
(lots/little), sun or shade, fertiliser? Any other advice greatly received.

Almost exactly like peppers. Frost susceptible. Lots of sun. Lots
of water when growing, and some fertiliser. But be warned, they are
a traditional fertility vegetable - and I don't mean just in the
garden :-)
