Aubergine - Viserba 3
This variety produces cylindrical, glossy purple skinned fruits with bitter free flesh. The plants grow similarly to sweet peppers and fruit abundantly throughout the summer, preferably under glass or in a sunny spot outdoors.
Sow seeds under heated glass, 6mm deep, at a minimum temperature of 15C during January to March in pots of good compost. Transplant to larger pots during April or May when seedlings can be easily handled. Plant out once frost risk has passed, either under protection or outdoors in warmer areas. Soil should be well prepared before transplanting with a liberal application of well-rotted manure or compost. Plant outdoors 7cm apart each way, or in large pots. Water and feed generously after planting out and as necessary throughout the period of cropping. To help support the plants, soil can be pulled from between the rows to the base of the plants and made firm, or support with a stout cane. Side-shooting or 'stopping' is not necessary.
