    I am for the first time growing Aubergine :happydance: "Black Beauty" They are in buckets in the greenhouse, :dbgrtmb: They are about 2 ft high and I have seen some very pretty flowers :thumb: but, the flower seems to die off and fall from the plant, I am feeding when I feed my toms and they are not drying out either, any ideas :what:

      I must admit, i'd been leaving them to chance, we do get bees and hoverflys in the greenhouse though.

      I polinate the cucurbits by hand & give the sweetcorn a shake.
