Hello everyone
I was given a present of an aubergine plant - I potted it on and I have had about 6 or 7 flowers, but after each one opens, it seems to wither, and eventually fall off. Should I be pollinating the flowers or doing something else? I have a flower just opened today.

Hand pollination can help... but I find after the first flush of flowers they tend to get their act together... be worried if fruit hadn't set yet though... so give it a go! :-\
No-one at our allotments in Surrey has anything to show with aubergines this year.
Mine copped a late frost and gave up the ghost entirely.
Butternuts are all greenery and no fruit as well.
Tant pis.
Thanks guys - going out to the greenhouse with my paintbrush now.
