~ Seed for Very Early AUBERGINES ~
The 'best of the best' are offered here - these ultra-early aubergines give you a good chance of a decent crop in the variable UK summers. We've had really nice letters from people who haven't been able to grow aubergines until they tried these varieties. Aubergines are a little slower growing than their
near relatives the Tomatoes & Peppers.
Josie says "this one's my favourite" ...
When to sow aubergine seed?

BarbentaneA great medium-sized cylindrical black aubergine from France, with firm white flesh. We have always found it quick to get going and the plants are very sturdy. This variety was bred for outdoor growing (in France, mind you, so we in the UK are really better off growing it under a bit of cover) and it does not require the same high temperatures that glasshouse aubergines are used to. Earliness, consistently high production and good flavour make this one of our favourites. If you only grow one, try this one! Long black fruit, white flesh. Order AuBN - 30 seed £1.55

Long Green Now here's a different one for you! Long curved aubergines with a pretty pale green skin and creamy white flesh. This is ideal for those aiming to make their veg plots look special. As well as being unusual and beautiful, it is also early and really tasty. Bound to attract lots of attention in the garden or allotment. Long thin curved green fruit. Nice!

This is one of the better northern european varieties
we've tried and has been reported by many people as particularly adaptable
to cooler/shorter summers. Please let us know what you think of it - it is productive for us, with a particularly good flavour when fried. Great! Dark Purple-black , traditional shape Order AuDI - 30 seed £1.49

Saving Aubergine Seed:
Ben demonstrates: Here you can see the seed squidged out of a very ripe fruit, rinsed through a sieve, and tapped out onto a plate to dry. Aubergines do cross quite a lot, so you need to grow only one variety - or isolate plants (or branches) with a net cage.
Seed-saving instructions are included with your seeds, so
you can do this yourself.
And of course, seed-saving is only possible because these are all real, non-hybrid varieties.
