Well, I’ll relate a small success.

My wife’s egg plants just did not do well. Then about the tenth of September, that changed and the plant began to produce blooms and fruit.

Well, fall was coming and cool and cold. I brought the big pot in the house by the glass door. I read up on pollination and learned it was actually very easy. I used a small paint brush to transfer pollen from the male to the female flowers.

It worked. In doors, the plant is producing four new egg plants. The flowers have ceased at least temporarily. We’ll see how it progresses

It has been an interesting experiment
