And a creamy, firm character. The aubergine 'Violetta Lunga' (Solanum menlongena) has harder flesh with fewer seeds. This makes it easier to peel and less susceptible to bruises and soft spots. And it is super healthy. Aubergine contains vitamin B1, B2, B6, B11 and vitamin C. Plant the vegetable seeds in March to April in a heated vegetable container or outdoors under glass later in the year. After thinning, plant them indoors in pots, or outdoors in the open ground in a sheltered spot. You can harvest from July to September.
Space the aubergine seeds 50 cm apart. Space the rows at a distance of 75 cm. Plant at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm. Plant the vegetable seeds in a nice spot in partial shade or full sun. After sowing, water the seeds adequately. The vegetable seeds come in a bag containing approximately 2 grams. This is enough to sow 10 square metres.
