Harvest
Aubergine 'Moneymaker' F1 generation hybrid seeds produce excellent quality aubergine plants which gives reliable results all from the comfort of your home or vegetable patch
Being purple Aubergine Moneymaker is naturally high in antioxidants which is great news for those wanting to boost their immune system for wellbeing in the long term. We recommend you grow Moneymaker with tomatoes and basil. All these foods are proven to be super healthy and the Mediterranean diet is lauded as one of the healthiest in the world.
Aubergine Moneymaker is well suited to greenhouse growing but will fruit when grown in large pots on a warm and sunny patio. With outstanding fruit quality, Moneymaker is a prolific cropper.
Your aubergine plants need to be kept well watered and should be fed regularly with a nutritious tomato plant food, high in potash once the individual fruits start to swell.
How to grow
Final planting:
Once the final frosts have passed, your aubergines can now be planted in their final position. Choose decorative patio pots, greenhouse borders or in the garden borders. Best to use peat free fruit and veg compost or general-purpose compost. Choose a sunny but sheltered spot away from strong winds.
Water your compost before planting. Make a hole the size of your pot and plant up to the same level as the original pot. Water in well to settle the compost around the root ball. Aubergines are thirsty and hungry plants, give them a good water and always keep moist. Start feeding with a high potash feed once the flowers appear and keep feeding at least once a week depending on the growth.
Guide To Plant Sizes
Aubergine Plug Plants:
Once your plug plants have been delivered, remove them immediately from their packaging. Place them in a shallow dish of water for a few minutes to soak the plug of compost. Ideally, these should be potted on immediately or if not, within a day or 2, keeping the plugs indoors in a warm and sunny place and ensuring the compost plug does not dry out. You may need to turn the plugs around as they will start to grow towards the light.
Potting on Aubergine Plugs:
When you are ready to pot the aubergine plugs on, lift them by their leaves, not the stem, as these bruise easily and can cause disease to enter and kill the plants. Pot into 9cm pots filled with potting on compost by making a hole big enough for the plug to go into. Plant so the seedling leaves are still proud of the surface. Tap to settle the compost and give them a good water.
9cm and 13cm Aubergine Plants:
Upon receiving your Aubergine Plants: Remove the pots immediately upon receipt and give them a good water. If particularly dry, plunge them into a bucket of water until no air bubbles are seen from the compost. Keep them in a warm place and keep well-watered until ready to plant.
These plants are larger and more mature than plugs and are ready to be planted straight away but will still benefit from hardening off before their final planting.
