How To Grow Great Aubergines - Allotment Gardening For Beginners UK

- Today we look at how to grow great aubergines in our back garden vegetable patch. We have grown aubergines for years in the UK but this is the first year that we have grown great aubergines and we will share what we are doing differently.
This year to grow great aubergines we took advice from a friend and purchased grafted aubergine plants from an online supplier. We found that the grafted aubergine arrives looking quite sad but soon picked up and have been growing great ever since. The plant has a good fruiting variety grafted to a strong growing rootstock. This grafting process seems to have produced the ideal plant as we have never seen aubergines growing so well in the UK.

I love all your videos. I start me gardening this year and hopefuly have my allotments soon to do some more things next year
Thank you and we are happy that you have started. Good luck.
Hi, tried once, seed started. Have to think India climate! Built a rocket mass heater for indoors
Sorry, and in a pot with a bell glass cover and sat next to the heater at night - By back door by day. Tepid water daily. Ok, but a lot of work.
Sounds like a lot of work. Try the grafted plants as we have done nothing special with ours.
My plant has no aubergines. I bought the plant from a garden centre in April, I feed it weekly and I water it regularly.
Mine are slower this year / I’ve got buds but no aubergines 🍆 yet / hopefully they will pick up / the weather has definitely been a challenge this year
My new top tips are to follow your tips next year and try and yield same fruit size and plant health - many thanks for info
Thank you for watching and hope my tips help 🍆
Brilliant really well done fantastic looking aubergines 🍆 Great video thankyou.
You’re welcome
Hello Can u pls show how u start aubergine sowing in the ground and when do you do the grafting in your next video please
I don’t graft them I buy grafted plants 🌱 from Suttons / they are worth it as they produce really well
Excellent video & advice. Can you please tell me where on UK we can get those Aubergine seeds?
I buy grafted plants 🌱 from Suttons / I’ve ordered mine already for delivery in May
@@ThatsWhatWeCallTheGoodLife Grafted Aubergine plant. Wow. Never heard of it. So you are not growing from seeds? How can we get some
Yes that’s right I don’t start from seed I order my plants from Suttons / if you are UK based here’s their website www.suttons.co.uk/
You have inspired me to try and grow aubergines next year .
Definitely give them a go if you can
I didn't find aubergines difficult last year (for the first time) in the greenhouse. Just masses of aphids. This time trying outside and at the flower stage.
Hi, they look very healthy. I'm growing a dwarf variety called pinstripe and they are doing great too.
Glad they are doing well, we have not tried that variety yet
I'm just about to plant aubergine 'scorpio' (June '24) out in my garden. I was inspired by your video. It's interesting to see that the plants are shrub-like rather than some sort of climber. I'm hoping that they won't need too much support. Many thanks for your advice and help!
Awesome they do need quite a bit of support if they grow as well as mine usually do but support as it becomes necessary
Now, I had given up on growing vegetables.. but now I am thinking I could crack out a few aubergines .. Great stuff!
Give them a go, we would recommend the grafted plants to give you a better crop.
Keep them coming Suzy, I do like aa nice Aubergine!
We do too
I've just put my potted aubergine outside today (because I don't like the aphids in the greenhouse). Fingers crossed all will be well.
Good luck and yes that get less aphids outdoors / I feed mine quite a lot as they tend to need a lot of feed to flourish
Thanks so much I have struggles so much with seeds you have just inspired me to buy plants. Gone for the same type as you so fingers crossed. Love this video ❤
Good luck 🤞
First timer of having an allotment, have two aubergine plants. Like you I have loads of aubergines my tip just plenty of water and sun, and good compost soil. I haven’t fed with any feeder.
Excellent, well done 👍
Thanks so much I have struggles so much with seeds you have just inspired me to buy plants. Gone for the same type as you so fingers crossed. Love this video ❤
Glad you like the video and good luck with your plants 🌱
Hi. Great tips. 5:00 What stage you have started feeding them pls.thanks
I would feed from quite small plants / mine arrived from Suttons a couple of weeks ago and have feed them already with tomato feed
You are a we star so you are i was put off buying the plants x
Thank you
Are they grown from seeds if do what variety
I get grafted plants from Suttons which are well worth it
@@ThatsWhatWeCallTheGoodLife when should I get them
Niiice! Those are some beautiful aubergines.
Thank you 🙏
Excellent advise and video. Thank you
You’re welcome/ glad my videos are useful
Thankyou so much for this video!!
You’re welcome
How do you store these? Or do you binge on moussaka for a month 😂
We give away or swap a few. We love to cook plenty in a variety of ways.
Plenty of ways to store in jars and some fantastic recipes. My wife’s favourite is a Middle Eastern style- scorched aubergine stuffed with walnuts and ripe tomatoes in olive oil.
Look fabulous. How do you cook yours would live to see some recipes.
We have just found a recipe where you halve them and bake them. Once cooked we brush them with melted butter and serve with yogurt mixed with harissa.
@@ThatsWhatWeCallTheGoodLife thanks. Never grown them. But they always look so beautiful. Never eaten them either, so that's why I wondered about best way to cook them.
wow they look amazing
Thank you
Do u cut back some of the leaves
Only if it gets really big and there some branches which I can’t tie up as they are too small or damaged etc / generally I just let it grow
@@ThatsWhatWeCallTheGoodLife thank u for replying. Mine has gone.way too big and the fruit don't get sun.
I always plant mine in a really sunny ☀️ spot as that really helps
Which variety??
They are grafted plants and the variety is Scorpio F1
Very good tips
Thank you
