Alright. What AM I doing wrong? Tried planting eggplants for the first time this year in the square foot garden. I have one plant per square foot, nice, green plants with beautiful purple flowers and not an eggplant to be found. I have plenty of pollinators (bees, hummingbirds) and my other pollinated plants (squash, Armenian cucumbers) are producing just fine. I understand they like hot weather and it's been in the 90's and will be in the 100's this coming week. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

LTH
