I have to say that I enjoy growing aubergines just for their colour! They are also quite easy to grow an just a small number of plants will keep you well supplied for a couple of months.
We have found them quite easy to grow from seed or you may prefer to buy plants ready to plant out.
They don't need any special attention, they don't need supporting, and don't appear to suffer from any pests.
