On that note anyone know a good deterrent for whitefly, they seem very fond
of my aubergines this year ?

Hi Duncan, if whitefly get eaten by Ladybirds (which certainly like
aphids), then you could try transplanting some ladybird grubs. Next to
my allotment, I found a bank of stinging nettles that were covering
aphids, plus platoons of ladybirds & their grubs.

I have since been transferring an occasional few to my greenhouse.

Additional point - can you tell us more about your Aubergines, what
you're doing with them and how they get on?

I have 5 "Slice-rite" aubergines in pots in a greenhouse, plus five
under a large plastic coche/tube in my allotment. 2 of these look like
they might be producing flower buds. The rest are just growing. As
advise, I pinched out the growing tips once the steps got to 12".
