I have multiple eggplants in pots inside my screens. They are all flowering, but none are producing actual eggplants. Am I missing something?

I keep ladybugs inside. I have others that are throwing their fruit. Like peppers, tomatoes, squash. These are the only ones not actually producing.

You think I should move them outside for a week or so ?

I actually just read that they self pollinate.... Shake the flowers as they have both male and female parts. If I do this daily I should see some fruit production.....let's see if that works

You could always experiment and maybe put one outside and see if it has different results?
