I have six plants and one fruit. All six keep making flowers but they dry up and fall off. Today I saw a new flower that I hope will produce.

I have the best luck with the long oriental types of eggplants. The ones with the larger eggplants like (ironically) Florida Beauty, don't seem to fruit to a mature size. I always have the long skinny types in abundance.

U're in the same zone as I am so I will try them. Any particular variety you recommend?

I also like long skinny eggplants- ping tung, fairy, and bride are the ones I have. If your soil is drying out to quickly you can mulch with compost to help it hold on to some water.

I have excellent luck with Ichiban- the long purple eggplant. I also had a long white variety last year but can't recall the name at the moment. I think I might have got it at Gore's nursery in the Dinsmore/Jax area.

It seems like many of the Asian vegetables do well in my area of NE FL. My Chinese Noodle Beans (I grow the red and the mosaic) do really great even in the heat and humidity all summer long. They are a climbing yard long bean. These same types did well for me on the Louisiana coast as well.

Silvia I think you hit the nail on the head about the stabilizing thing. Also I think they needed more water. I started watering them daily or every other depending on temps and within a week they started bearing.
