I have an aubergine in the greenhouse. It flowering well, but none of the flowers are setting into fruit. The summer up north (Highlands) has been poor (what's new!).
Any suggestions?

I only have one and it isn't even flowering, I will hand pollinate it if / when it flowers

I have 8 aubergines of differing types, so far only one has fruited, the others are flowering like mad........and then they drop!!!!!   :'(

I seem to be getting good results despite bad husbandry adn a chronic aphid problem (only on the aubergines, nowhere else) with Long Purple..... at least with their small long thin size I get to use as much as a want./... normal aubergines are a bit OTT for a single guy....

When I grew them, I thought that they had male and female flowers. The female flowers were the bigger of the two with a bulge behind them.
