Has anyone else had eggplants flowering really well, but then getting very little fruit?

One thing that helped me was paying more attention to pollination. Eggplants are self-pollinating, but sometimes a little help can improve fruit set, especially when conditions aren’t ideal.

I recently wrote a simple guide showing how I hand pollinate eggplant flowers and what I usually do with the plant during the growing season:

@Yogi...rule #6 of this forum states:

6. "To advertise or sell commercially on the forum you must be a Preferred Vendor. Screen names and signatures with business names and/or links in them will be edited upon arrival. The post may be deleted as spam."

Are you or "Dinasgarden" considered Preferred Vendor here? If not, your link must be deleted.

Further, your many posts solicitating Ytube clicks and "likes" are questionable as related to the rules this Forum operates under. Please take this under advisement.

If you have good solid garden info to share post it here without the business implications.

The drama continues.

I'm finding almost all of the posts made here by @Yogi are also posted on Dina's Garden under the name Dina Davidov.

So does @Yogi = Jeff David = Dina Davidov?

Same how toos.

What is the gig? Is someone making money posting these vids all over the internet under various aliases?

Are we to believe these unsolicited posts are intended to help our Forum Gardners...or rather help make money for the author whoever that is?

The way you cook eggplants for beginners;

1) Put an eggplant fruit on a board.
2) Cut up the eggplant. Make sure not to let it taint your hands. Biohazard warning may apply for some states and climates.
3) Place the board in the oven and cook it.
4) Throw away the eggplant.
5) Eat the board. Make sure to use your favorite seasonings.

I wasn’t aware that this violated any forum rules. You’re welcome to remove the post. I was trying to share useful gardening content with the community, not make money from it.

I also find it uncomfortable and inappropriate that you’re tracking my posts across platforms and trying to identify me.
