Thompson & MorganAubergine Grafted Meatball 3 Postiplug Plants
Description
Thompson and Morgan’s Aubergine ‘Meatball’ really is the meatiest of all aubergines. This perfect, globe-shaped fruit grows up to 13cm across with heavy flesh which only has a few seeds, making the flavour sweeter than other varieties. This fruit makes a great addition to any dish, particularly as a meat substitute for vegetarian dishes. The Aubergine ‘Meatball’ combines the very best traits of both heritage and modern hybrid varieties.Aubergines grow best at temperatures of 25-30C (77-86F) with high humidity levels. Stake aubergine plants as they increase in size and pinch out the main growing tip to encourage a bushy habit. Once the first flowers have set, feed aubergines every 2 weeks with a high potash tomato feed. Restricting the crop to 5 or 6 per plant will produce the largest fruits. Harvest aubergines by cutting them close to the stem from August onwards, when the fruit appears fully coloured and shiny.How to GrowPot up plants and grow them on in warm, frost free conditions until plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before planting out in their final positions. For indoor cultivation, pot on into larger containers or plant 2 aubergines per growbag. Outdoors, plant aubergines in rich fertile soil at a distance of 90cm (3’) apart, in rows spaced 90-120cm (3-4’) apart. Grow aubergines in a sheltered position in full sun. Planting through black plastic mulch will help to warm the soil, control weeds and save moisture.Product Specifications:. Position: Full Sun. Height: Up to 70cm when fully established.
