aubergine damage

Something has been munching my aubergines and I’m not happy

My money is on slugs, snails or earwigs – all three are thriving in my garden this year.

But I did manage to harvest one undamaged aubergine:

aubergine 'black enorma'

This made it’s way into an aubergine curry, sadly supplemented by a bought aubergine to make up for the small harvest.

I grew this outside on my south facing patio and treated it just like a tomato plant in terms of watering and feeding. Quite pleased it managed to produce aubergines despite the distinct lack of heat or sun this summer. Just need to declare war on the pests for next year.
