Aubergine q

[nonsenceagain]

I have two grafted Scorpio aubergines in pots.They're inside at the moment, and am planning to move them out into the garden (still in pots). But I don't know when is best. My mum says around now, but I think it should be a gradual move, or no move until the end of May. Like my tomatoes. They're doing well, producing new growth etc...
I'm a reasonably proficient gardener but haven't grown these before. Any advice much appreciated.

• they're inside!

There’s some cold weather coming next week, don’t put them out, they will die.
Aubergine grow in hot climates and don’t tend to do well in Britain, unless we have a very hot summer.
I grow mine in the green house. Occasionally if we are having a hot summer I will put one out, but they tend to be small fruit.

Aubergines are more tender than tomatoes, so you're right to wait.

Thank you both. I'll keep them in for a few more weeks and then hope we get some small fruits at least in the summer!
