Whether you've got a spacious veggie patch or are "farming" in pots on your patio, "Slim Jim" aubergines are an Italian favourite that's a pleasure to grow. The dwarf habit of these plants makes it ideal for urban farmers with limited space, but the elongated, purple fruits will tempt those with space to spare too. Patch full? Plant "Slim Jim" in the flower garden! It's attractive enough to compete for attention there, and you'll love the easy-slicing fruits.

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Sow your seeds in spring after the last frosts, or get a head start on your crop by sowing in containers about two months earlier. You will only cover them with about 5mm of medium, so keep them moist.

    How to Harvest

    Pick your eggplants when they are a shiny, waxy white. When they lose their shine, they are overripe. Use a pair of scissors or secateurs, and leave a short piece of stem attached to the fruit.
