    Hi again - having trouble with my aubergines (or lack of them!). The plant is nice and big and producing loads of flowers but as soon as it looks like the fruit has set (can just see a tiny green berry), the stem drops off!? Everytime I think I may have the start of an aubergine, I get disappointed when I find the stem lying in the pot instead of still being on the plant! Any suggestions?
