Description

'Blanche Ronde à Oeuf' is a dwarf variety, only 25 to 35 cm high, making it an ideal choice for growing in pots. Its produces round, white, fleshy fruit about the size of an egg... this variety certainly lives up to its name! Sow from February to April for a harvest 5 months later.

 

Aubergine first appeared in Europe during the 14th century but has been cultivated in India and China since ancient times. Also known as Eggplant in American English, it is generally served cooked, stuffed, grilled on the barbecue or incorporated into gratin or ratatouille. Aubergine has calming, diuretic properties and contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, and C as well as iron and calcium.

 

Harvesting: Pick the mature fruit when required from July to October.

Storage: Aubergines will keep up for up to a week in the refrigerator. Once steamed, they can be stored in the freezer for 6 to 8 months.

Good to know: Weed and hoe regularly. For bigger fruits, pinch out the terminal growing points.

Planting and care

Semis

L'aubergine demandera un apport de compost bien décomposé (3 kg/m²) en fin d'automne ou en début de printemps avant le semis. Les graines se sèment en pots emplis de terreau fin, au chaud, dans la maison à partir de février, à exposition lumineuse. A partir d'avril, vous pouvez semer en pleine terre, à l'emplacement définitif. Maintenir le substrat humide. Pour faciliter la levée, parfois capricieuse, faire séjourner les graines quelques jours dans le bas du réfrigérateur (4 à 5°C).

Entretien

Quand les plants ont 5 à 6 feuilles, les repiquer dans des godets de terreau ou en pleine terre, à une exposition chaude. Éliminez les pousses latérales et pincez le plant lorsqu’il a formé 2 ou 3 bouquets de fleurs, cela permet de créer des ramifications. Éliminez les gourmands qui se développent au pied, ils ont tendance à épuiser inutilement la plante. Un bon paillage permet à la fois de maintenir le sol humide et de limiter le désherbage.
