rabbitfluff Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 How can you tell when your aubergines are ripe? They're a long thin variety and I have about 3 that seem to have stopped growing now at about 10" maybe. Should I pick them? Would they taste better under ripe than over? I gave them a little squeeze but to be honest they feel exactly the same to me as the smaller ones! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I would have thought that you can pick them at any stage. I have a patio aubergine which has been in the greenhouse, but it wsn't setting fruit so I have moved it outside. I am quite jealous that you have fruit.

rabbitfluff Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Thanks for that. I'll pick them tomorrow and they can go straight in to a moussaka. My ones at home haven't done anything but the ones on my windowsill at work have done really well. It probably helps I can give the flowers a tickle and a prod with a cotton bud any time I feel the urge whereas the ones at home have been left to their own devices.
