aubergine hand pollinating

I'm growing two aubergines in my small tunnel. I have read that hand pollinating is necessary but I didn't succeed with my first try. Actually, I think difficult to estimate when the stamen and the pistil are mature. I guess that for one flower, first the stamens mature and after that the pistil mat...

thanks for the link.
But it doesn't answer my question. The flowers come in group of roughly 10. Only 1 or 2 give a bean, the others flowers really fall off.
Do you think it can be the watering?

broad beans flowers falls off

I planted some broad beans. I obtain a lot of flowers but unfortunately, the majority of them falls off. 2 or 3 weeks ago, I observed some blackflies and ants. But they disappeared and today, I don't observe any blackfly. Does anybody know why the flowers fall off? Thanks for any suggestions. Noisette

Thank you for the answer. well, I didn't know that it must cross pollinate . So, I put it one in my polytunnel with tomatoes and the other two outside.

physalis philadelphica

Has anybody ever tried to grow Physalis philadelphica? I grew three plants from seeds. I don't know if it is necessary to pollinate it by hand. Do you use a paintbrush? What kind of paintbrush?

Thanks for answers.
