Product Description
Mr Fothergill’s Aubergine Baby Jack (Solanum melongena) is a wonderfully compact and fruitful variety, designed for gardeners with limited space. The branched, bushy plants produce generous clusters of small aubergines that are ideal for individual portions, stuffing or slicing into authentic Mediterranean recipes.
Remaining neat and upright, Baby Jack is perfectly suited to 2-litre patio pots and can even be grown on a bright indoor windowsill. It also performs well in greenhouses, polytunnels, raised beds and allotments. For best results, grow in a warm, sunny position to encourage strong growth and fruit development.
Sow indoors from January to April and harvest from August to October. As well as being delicious and versatile, aubergines are a good source of dietary fibre, making them a healthy addition to your homegrown produce.

We can arrange a delivery date that suits you. If access for large vehicles is difficult, please let us know in advance.
