Am thrilled to announce, following your advice about ‘helping pollination’! I have more fruit appearing!

Thanks Snoop Puss

Ours are getting red spider mite so they'll be hoiked outside to give the peppers and chillies a better chance.

Just to make you all feel better, I still only have flowers, lots and lots of flowers.
No fruit at all yet...

No advice Dorothyrouse I am afraid. Mine have gone into that 'flowers only' state too, but after a halfway decent harvest so far.
On the other hand, we don't grow them to undercut Lidl.

Any further advice on how to encourage more fruit to form? I have flowers and have done the ‘gentle tapping’ to encourage pollination, but nothing more is happening!
2 beautiful aubergine from 3 bought plants! Works out expensive fruit!
they are outside, in a sheltered and sunny spot, and are fed

Nobody wants to know I'm going to pick five tonight, all unblemished... Aubergine parmigiana for tea and leftovers cold for lunch tomorrow. To be honest, I actually prefer it cold.
The only care mine get is daily watering and staking to hold up fruit and against wind.

That's a lot of aubergine for not much food, Mr B.
I know you're all going to say "yes, but you live in Spain", but conditions in my part of Spain are really harsh. And last year I disposed of thousands of snails (no exaggeration). The only big difference, I'd say, is that so far I've seen no red spider mite. Famous last words... I know it exists locally because it's a topic of discussion among growers here.
Start them off in a greenhouse and then move them outdoors? Mine don't get knocked back by the really cold temperatures that often finish off the tomato plants towards the end of September. So a spell of cold isn't the end of the world. Maybe the biggest issue would be waterlogging in frequent rains.
