Eggplants and their kin (peppers and tomatoes) are quite susceptible to fluctuations in temperature, so if you’ve been having particularly cool nights (below 55°F) or particularly hot days (above 95°F), this could have caused the lack of fruiting. Try covering your plants on cold nights and even setting up a beach umbrella on extremely hot and sunny days. (Don’t use the umbrella for too long, as the plant will not thrive in the shade.) The problem could also be stemming from a lack of water, so if it’s been dry, put down some mulch to hold in moisture. A less likely possibility is a lack of pollination. Have you observed many bees flying around your eggplants? If not, this could be the cause of your fruitlessness. You can pollinate the flowers yourself by simply give the plant a light shake to dislodge and spread the pollen within the flowers.
