I am growing meatball, Scorpio and Black Beauty this year. Four plants (I gave loads more away as I found more than that could get a bit much if they all fruit at the same time.)
I rather wish I had grown Peroperosa again. They are so beautiful. Next year...

Ha fimblefowl! I might be a bit miffed too!
I have some old electric disposable tooth brushes. I did just use a paint brush in the ned, but have several aubergines on the way and one nearly ready to harvest. I wish I could find those snails though... the sneaky ones that are invisible when I go in the greenhouse, but which nibble the leaves, and yesterday, I discovered, had bitten through the stalks to semi-sever two flowers. I am tempted to put some (animal safe) slug stuff down, as it's the greenhouse (I still worry about animals with that stuff), but the leaves are so big I think they might by-pass it.

Lovely, Mr Bones. How do you store surplus, out of interest? Freezer?

Should I be helping them along with a paint brush?.
Light and water is what they need now.

I'm not going to say it too loudly in case I jinx it, but it looks like I finally have a flower bud appearing...

Great!
Once you get fruit you are away - the fruits grow very quickly, much faster than tomatoes.
Definitely a pest magnet, aubergines. I've had some kind of leaf miner, some greenfly (and such thick, untasty leaves too, it's surprising), and an earwig. Luckily the tomatoes all around seem unaffected.
