Why are my aubergines rotting?
By Judithj

This is the third year of trying to grow aubergines - I always seem to get so far and this happens - plants are looking very healthy and flower perfectly. Then the fruit just seems to rot at this very early stage. What am I doing wrong?

I am not pollinating them at all - if they are setting fruit doesn't that mean they are OK. Mine are also in pots, but will go and try to tickle their flowers!! Thanks
