Growing Aubergines: just water them?
 

I got some aubergine seeds from mr fothergills a couple of months ago,
they're now over a foot with flowers and I've seen websites saying you
need to tie them to stakes and cut off shoots and stuff - doesn't say
anything about this on the seed packet, is it a variety that doesnt
need that (aubergine money maker)?? never grown anything before, TIA.
