They are not fertiliser. Use a cotton swab or paintbrush to transfer pollen from the male flower (skinny) to the female flower (has mini zucchini) when the flowers are open.

Can you be even more specific or provide a link to a video? Thank you!

It could be blossom end rot, caused by a lack of calcium. Or it could be poor pollination. Make sure the plants are watered evenly. I add a few spoons of powdered oyster shell while planting tomatoes, squash, peppers and eggplant but garden lime can also be used.


I get blossom end rot on my container tomatoes when there is heavy rain even when I do my best with preparing the soil - there is a spray you can buy that prevents it.

First time growing eggplant for me. The plants are flowering but not setting fruit. I don't think it's a lack of pollinators because the peppers and tomatoes in the same bed are fruiting well. Any ideas?

Potatoes and cabbages are doing well. Kale is out of control.

Beans are stunted. Two bush types. I got 5 pods total from seven plants.

Broccoli is growing weirdly.

Spinach and peas were all eaten by something.

Tomatoes are growing tall.
