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…
