Aubergines

I think that is a very good idea, it keep everyone happy   

Well patience paid off in the end. After 3 weeks in propagator, there are at least 8 seedlings showing. They take as long as blessed parsnips in the beds outside to germinate

I can get them to germinate and grow into gorgeous plants but getting any fruit off them is another matter. For the size of the plants, and their diva natures, I got fed up of the lack of output.  I tried all different varieties as I love aubs, but such poor yields made me decide to call it a day.

More chillies! 

I did the best with them the year we moved before I got my new greenhouse, as soon as it warmed up they went outside & stayed out. They were sown in the conservatory & potted on until they were in their final pots, then out they went. Just can't remember what size pots they went in, so since I've got 8 germinated this year I think I'll try 4 in flower buckets the same as I do my toms & 4 in some tall but smaller pots that I usually do chilli's in.
Gobs, I can't agree with you on them being tasteless, havea go at aubergine parmigiana, that might make you change your mind 😊

As said, everybody has their own tastes and likes and dislikes. I've tried on many varieties of them years ago, Parmigiana probably was not amongst them(as it sounds unfamiliar), so I might give that one a try, too, next year.

I also do find most cucurbits completely tasteless and I have the feeling most would agree with me, as they just are...

Sorry should have explained parmigiana is a recipe for them not a variety😄, sorry for not being clear

Yes, of course, we can put them full of cheese and garlic and etc. However, the point was there own taste by themselves.

As this thread now seems to be a disagreement over which veg are good to eat and which aren't ( obviously a matter of personal choice  ) I'll lock it.
