There are flowers on my aubergines and peppers. Do they need to be pollinated by insects or should I tap them like toms?
I'm so excited - last year my aubs didn't even flower!
They are insect-pollinated, but I have been paintbrushing mine as I am not convinced any insects know that they are there!
I am growing two pepper plants indoors, one of them has a 3 1/2 inch long pepper on it already. But I didn't water it one night and all its little baby pepper friends dropped off :-( so remember to keep your plants well watered!!

I didn't pollinate my redskin peppers, and they've got baby peppers ok. :D
But nothing yet with the flowering chillis, so perhaps I should be paintbrushing them.
Hurrah for your flowers Aqui. :)
Shame about your baby peppers Tenuse. :'(
Never ever - for peppers, chillies or aubs in all these years. = Tim
