Growing Eggplant, also Aubergine

Hi vegewitch (love the name!) I wonder if a complete high-potassium fertiliser would help, such as the tomato-food version of Dynamic Lifter. I have found a little paintbrush helps make sure the flowers pollinate and set fruit. The other issue might be the cold - my eggplants do much better in summer.
