    Aubergine leaf problem

    It's currently in isolation and now looking incredibly sorry for itself. Will give it to the end of the week, and then try as you suggest. Shame we are not going to be having great weather this week.

    Aubergine infested with aphids

    Just tap water, although it is usually warm from sitting in the greenhouse. My aubies seem to really appreciate the increase in humidity.

    Aubergine growing advice

    Fruit should be very shiny. If it loses it's shine, it's past it. Use secateurs to snip the stem and take it by the fruit end. They've got vicious spines!

    attempting carrots this year

    I once had a lettuce and salad cream sarny. I was just about to bite into it when I say two beady eyes appear on stalks, and a tiny slug popped out to say hello.
