thanks for the reply.....I didn't find any snails around but recently I noticed brown insect(Garden Weevils???) eating everything in my garden. They are attacking the leaves/stems and the young shoots of all the plants. How do you get rid of Garden Weevils? Thank you.

I've planted my eggplants out to my aquaponics system 5 weeks ago (just after christmas), all had flowered within 2 weeks and at week 3 they have fruit about 5cm long, I planted both redskin and normal shop variety.

I have a 'yellow' eggplant, round in shape and a bright colour. My neighbour gave me the seedling but I can't find anything on yellow eggplant. Can you help?

I planted seedlings (varieties) early December and started harvesting very healthy good size fruit late January. I am still harvesting almost every three weeks.It just grows and grows and gives lots of fruit. I give it good watering and lot of compost from time to time. I have left a fruit on each plant for seeds which will be handy come July.

i had a simillar problem, but i had heaps of flowers yet they all dropped off after a week or so. i am going to try a fertilizer with a high level of phosphorus.

Instead of a Chemical based fertilzer try an Organic Fertilizer like Cow Manure, Horse Manure. Do not use Chicken Manure. It is too hot when moist and will burn your plants. Water well and give it a lot of Compost.
