a lot of mine polinated but with all of the dark rainy weather we've had they just didn't ripen  :cry:

Oh well, there's always next year!

Good one, Snoozi, probably aborted fruit, I think gets treated by most as pollination problem, whereas it isn't. Can look very similar.

I probably just got luck with mine this year but I did stroke them, hubby made rather rude comments about it!

I used to beat the stems with a stick and got reasonable results.  Perhaps next year my wife and I should try a nice gardener/nasty gardener technique on them to see if it makes them more co-operative!
