Eggplants – No Fruit
Q: My eggplants have blooms but no fruit. Do I need to sing a song while pollinating them, like you recommend singing Sinatra to squash when transferring pollen?
A: Gently tap the flowers twice each day with a pencil to shake loose the pollen inside. For eggplant, Engelbert Humperdink songs are appropriate to hum as you work.
