1. How do eggplants pollinate? I see a bud, just curious if its somethign I will need to help along.

2. Something has been eating the crap ot of the leaves since the day I transplanted it although I NEVER see any bugs on the plant. I caught a caterpillar red handed munching my radishes to death (I let him, he was cute) but I want my eggplants!!! I tried a soap and water spray (castille soap) and it did nothing. Infact, the very next day I notice 2 leaves ona squash plant were almost entirely eaten and that plant had zero insect damage prior to that. I think all it did was made the bugs mad....
