Eggplant question

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

I have two questions, but first a little background. I put in a couple eggplants this spring. One seemed to have a slight wilt problem, but produced well. The second has thrived as the weather got hot and produced moderately enough to keep my husband and I in eggplant.

Question 1: It seems to me that while both plants have continued to flower, they haven't set fruit in the last month. Is that due to higher temps? The pollinators seem to be active in that garden. (The eggplant sits in the middle of a perennial garden and many of the plants are all-summer bloomers.) And for good measure, I've been hand pollinating when I think to do it.

Question 2: Can I expect this plan to continue producing until frost? Looking at it this morning I see a flush of new flower buds, more than I've seen previously. they'll probably bloom in the next couple weeks.

Thanks in advance.
