Hi, After so many attempts, I managed to grow eggplant(Lebanese) this year and was rewarded with quite a good crop. My problem is, the skins get eaten by some kind of pest and they look awful. Would anyone know what it could be? Thanks in advance - Savithri

thanks for the reply.....I didn't find any snails around but recently I noticed brown insect(Garden Weevils???) eating everything in my garden. They are attacking the leaves/stems and the young shoots of all the plants. How do you get rid of Garden Weevils? Thank you.
