And soft spot in question. Things i learnt about giant aubergines this season:. 1. Cracks aren�t fatal but you are on borrowed time. 2. They blow up. Pretty sure I went from 15 plants to dmg on all (but trying to hold for a given date) with wilt, splits and soft rot 3. Competitive lines are yet to be established. This came out of a generic seed packet from France (monster of New York) 4. Megablooms are rare, but not unheard of. 5. Seed production is poor. There were just 8 viable seeds out of the 3.7kg fruit. More from others but less than tomatoes. 6. A lot of plants just got Verticillium Wilt. Grafting might help. 7. Splits aren�t just from watering. Soil nutrients, temperature extremes as well as watering can all do it. Any questions just shout. Although I�m not talking to aubergines right now�
