black beauty aubergine plant with fruit

Yesterday the spring greens arrived, fortunately we had the bed already prepared and planting was the easy bit. To protect them from the garden pests and preditors we covered them with the ultra-fine mesh. It did a good job protecting the winter greens so we are hoping for similar with these. Today the spring bulbs arrived so busy tidying the border and thinning out the plants which spread nearly as fast as weeds to make way for some of the bulbs. Many will also go in pots. Lots of work for the weekend. In the greenhouse the black beauty aubergines are finally producing fruit. Much later than last year.
