Growing Eggplant, also Aubergine

View the Eggplant page

12 Feb 11 Cherri East (Australia - temperate climate)
I have small holes in my eggplant and when I crack the egg plant open there is a grub inside that is eating the flesh of the fruit. ?Any ideas on what these may be and how I can get rid of them in an organic way. I have alot of herbs in my garden and do not have a problem with an other type of pest on any other vegetabel, just the egg plant. The eggplant bushes them selves are healthy.
